Adopt the Library Fundamentals TS make_array design for the sequence factories (#1553)
* Adopt the Library Fundamentals TS make_array design for the sequence factories

make_array, make_deque, make_vector, make_list, make_forward_list and
make_indirect_vector now follow the Library Fundamentals TS
std::experimental::make_array design: a defaulted leading template
parameter selects the element type explicitly, falling back to the
decayed common type of the arguments when it is not supplied. A shared
trait (etl::private_make::element_type) performs the selection lazily,
so common_type is not instantiated when the element type is explicit.

This fixes the explicit-element-type calling style for the four
common-type factories, where make_vector<char>(lvalue) never compiled:
the explicit argument pinned the first pack parameter to char, making
it a char&& that no lvalue can bind to. It also gives make_array and
make_deque the deduced form (e.g. make_array(1, 2L) is array<long, 2>)
for free. All arguments are converted with static_cast, as in the
make_array const-lvalue fix, so const-qualified lvalues and narrowing
initialisers work in both forms.

Intentional behaviour change: an explicit element type now converts
every argument instead of pinning only the first. make_vector<char>(0,
1, ...) previously produced vector<int> - the explicit char affected
only the first argument and the element type was still the common type
- and now produces vector<char>. test_make_vector documented the old
behaviour and has been updated.

The keyed set and map factories are unchanged: their key/mapped types
are separate mandatory template parameters ahead of a fully-deduced
pack, so the explicit-type style already works, and retrofitting
deduction there would interact with the defaulted comparator/hash
parameters.

Adds explicit-element-type tests for the four common-type factories
(const/non-const lvalues plus narrowing initialisers) and
deduced-element-type tests for make_array and make_deque, and updates
the four documented signatures.

* Address review comments on the make_xxx factory design

- Forward same-type arguments in the make_xxx factories instead of
  casting them. static_cast produced a prvalue that, before C++17, had
  to be materialised through the move constructor, rejecting
  copyable-but-non-movable element types. The new
  private_make::convert helper forwards arguments that already have
  the element type and static_casts the rest.
- Drop ETL_NOEXCEPT from make_array: conversions can throw, and the
  other factories do not declare it.
- Remove the redundant etl::decay in element_type<void, ...>;
  etl::common_type already decays its arguments.
- Stop leaking the etl::private_make implementation namespace into the
  documented factory signatures.

* Add a test for make_array with an explicit element type and no arguments

etl::make_array<int>() produces an empty etl::array<int, 0> and now has
a regression test. A call with neither an element type nor arguments
remains ill-formed, matching the Library Fundamentals TS: there is
nothing to deduce the element type from. The array documentation now
states this explicitly.

{{< callout >}}
Header: `array.h`
Since: All versions
Similar to: [std::array](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/container/array.html)
{{< /callout >}}
A fixed capacity array.
Adds additional members functions, `assign`, `insert` & `erase`.
```cpp
etl::array<typename T, const size_t SIZE>
```
See also:
[array_view]({{< relref "array-view" >}})
[multi_array]({{< relref "multi-array" >}})
## Template deduction guides
**C++17 and above**
```cpp
template <typename... T>
etl::array(T...)
```
### Example
```cpp
etl::array data{ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 };
```
Defines data as an array of 'int', of length '10', containing the supplied data.
## Make template
**C++11 and above**
```cpp
template <typename T = void, typename... TValues>
constexpr auto make_array(TValues&&... values) -> etl::array</*element-type*/, sizeof...(TValues)>
```
The element type is `T` when supplied, otherwise the decayed common type of
the arguments (the Library Fundamentals TS `make_array` design). An empty
array requires the element type to be supplied explicitly, e.g.
`etl::make_array<int>()`; a call with neither an element type nor arguments
is ill-formed, as there is nothing to deduce the element type from.
### Example
```cpp
// Deduced element type: etl::array<int, 10>.
auto data = etl::make_array(0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9);
// Explicit element type: etl::array<char, 10>. Each argument is converted.
auto chars = etl::make_array<char>(0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9);
```

`difference_type`
`reference`
`const_reference`
`pointer`
`const_pointer`
`iterator`
`const_iterator`

## Static Constants
```cpp
SIZE
```
**Description**

## Constructor
```cpp
etl::array<int, 10> data = { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 };
```
**Description**
Default or copy constructs each element.
Can be initialised like a C array.
## Element access
```cpp
T& at(size_t i)
const T& at(size_t i) const
```
**Description**
Returns a reference or const reference to the indexed element. Emits an etl::array_out_of_range if the index is not in range.
If asserts or exceptions are not enabled then an out of range index results in undefined behaviour.
---
```cpp
T& operator[](size_t i)
const T& operator[](size_t i) const
```
**Description**
Returns a reference or const reference to the indexed element.
An out of range index results in undefined behaviour.

```cpp
T& back()
const T& back() const
```
**Description**
Returns a reference or const reference to the last element.
## Iterators
```cpp
iterator begin()
const_iterator begin() const
const_iterator cbegin() const
```
**Description**
Returns an iterator to the beginning of the array.
---
```cpp
iterator end()
const_iterator end() const
const_iterator cend() const
```
**Description**
Returns an iterator to the end of the array.
---
```cpp
iterator rbegin()
const_iterator rbegin() const
const_iterator crbegin() const
```
**Description**

---
```cpp
iterator rend()

Returns a reverse iterator to the end of the array.
## Capacity
```cpp
bool empty() const
```
**Description**
Returns true if the size of the array is zero, otherwise false.
---
```cpp
size_t size() const
```
**Description**
Returns the size of the array.
---
```cpp
size_t max_size() const
```
**Description**
Returns the maximum possible size of the array.
## Modifiers
```cpp
void fill(T value)
```
**Description**
Fills the array with value.
## ETL Extensions
```cpp
template <typename TIterator>
void assign(TIterator first, const TIterator last)
```
```cpp
template <typename TIterator>
void assign(TIterator first, const TIterator last, parameter_t value)
```
**Description**
Assigns a range of values to the array. The second form set uninitialised elements to value.
If the range is larger than the array then the extra data is ignored.
If the range is smaller than the array then the unused array elements are left unmodified.
---
```cpp
iterator insert_at(size_t position, parameter_t value)
iterator insert(const_iterator position, parameter_t value)
```
**Description**
Inserts a value into the array at the specified position, shifting elements to make room.
Elements may be truncated if they are shifted off the end of the array.
---
```cpp
template <typename TIterator>
iterator insert_at(size_t position, TIterator first, const TIterator last)
```
**Description**
`position` is not checked for validity.
---
```cpp
template <typename TIterator>
iterator insert(const_iterator position, TIterator first, const TIterator last)
```
**Description**
Inserts a range of values into the array at the specified position, shifting elements to make room.
Elements may be truncated if they are shifted off the end of the array.
The range may be larger than the capacity of the array. Excess elements will be ignored.
---
```cpp
iterator erase_at(size_t position)
iterator erase_at(size_t position, parameter_t value)
iterator erase(const_iterator position)
iterator erase(const_iterator position, parameter_t value)
```
**Description**

## Structured bindings
`etl::array` provides the tuple-like interface required for C++17 structured bindings.
```cpp

auto& [x, y, z] = a; // x, y, z are references to a[0], a[1], a[2]
```

template <typename T, size_t Size>
struct tuple_size<etl::array<T, Size>>
```
**Description**
Gets the number of elements in the array.
Specialised in namespaces `etl` and `std` (the `std` specialisation allows the use of C++ structured bindings).
---
```cpp
template <size_t Index, typename T, size_t Size>
struct tuple_element<Index, etl::array<T, Size>>
```
**Description**
