Casting pointers from one type to another does change the
value of the pointer in some cases. Therefore, casting a span
that contains pointers of one type to a span that contains
pointers of another type, is not generally safe. In practice, this
issue mainly comes up when dealing with classes that have a
vtable.
There are some special cases that are still allowed. For example,
adding const to the pointer does not change the address.
Also, casting to a void pointer is fine.
In cases where implicit conversion is disabled, but one is sure
that the cast is valid, an explicit call of `span.cast<NewType>()`
can be used.
Motivated by `std::string_view` being usable in
const (compile-time) context.
One functional change was needed for StringRef:
`std::char_traits<char>::length(str)` instead of `strlen`.

The new reverse iterators behave as the reverse iterators for contains from
the standard library. Have a look at the tests to see how to use them.
Using them will hopefully become easier with ranges in C++20.
A Vector can now be constructed from two iterators, which is very common
in the standard library.
New Vector.insert methods allow adding elements in the middle of a vector.
These methods should not be used often in practice, because they has a linear running time.
New Vector.prepend methods allow adding elements to the beginning of a vector.
These methods are O(n) as well.
This replaces header include guards with `#pragma once`.
A couple of include guards are not removed yet (e.g. `__RNA_TYPES_H__`),
because they are used in other places.
This patch has been generated by P1561 followed by `make format`.

This updates the usage of integer types in code I wrote according to our new style guides.
Major changes:
* Use signed instead of unsigned integers in many places.
* C++ containers in blenlib use `int64_t` for size and indices now (instead of `uint`).
* Hash values for C++ containers are 64 bit wide now (instead of 32 bit).
I do hope that I broke no builds, but it is quite likely that some compiler reports
slightly different errors. Please let me know when there are any errors. If the fix
is small, feel free to commit it yourself.
I compiled successfully on linux with gcc and on windows.
This allows us to avoid many calls to `as_span()` methods. I will
remove those in the next commit. Furthermore, constructors
of Vector and Array can convert from one type to another now.
I tested these changes on Linux with gcc and on Windows.
This also renames `MutableArrayRef` to `MutableSpan`.
The name "Span" works better, because `std::span` will provide
similar functionality in C++20. Furthermore, a shorter, more
concise name for a common data structure is nice.
