fa65bbf217b725ada35107b4ad646d250228355c span: Add BytePtr helper (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

  This changes the serialize code (`.read()` and `.write()` functions) to take a `Span` instead of a pointer and size. This is a breaking change for the serialize interface, so at no additional cost we can also switch to `std::byte` (instead of using `char`).

  The benefits of using `Span`:
  * Less verbose and less fragile code when passing an already existing `Span`(-like) object to or from serialization

  The benefits of using `std::byte`:
  * `std::byte` can't accidentally be mistaken for an integer

  The goal here is to only change serialize to use spans of `std::byte`. If needed, `AsBytes`,  `MakeUCharSpan`, ... can be used (temporarily) to pass spans of the right type.

  Other changes that are included here:

  * [#22167](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/22167) (refactor: Remove char serialize by MarcoFalke)
  * [#21906](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/21906) (Preserve const in cast on CTransactionSignatureSerializer by promag)
