Removes lokimq::string_view (the type alias is still provided for
backwards compat, but now is always std::string_view).
Bump version (on dev branch) to 1.2.0
string_view isn't supposed to be implicitly convertible to std::string
and code would break compiling under c++17 (when our local string_view
is simply a std::string_view typedef).
Pre-C++17 char_traits::compare isn't constexpr so we can't constexpr the
find/rfind methods that use it.
begin() etc, however, can be constexpr (and need to be for some of the
other constexpr methods here that use them).
This library is adapted from lokid's existing quorumnet code (added in
6.x) used for SN-to-SN communication for quorum voting but generalized
to be usable both there and as a basis for other communication channels
with loki projects (for example: wallet-to-lokid communication; loki-ss
and lokinet internal communication with lokid; loki-ss to loki-ss
communication and message passing; perhaps eventually loki p2p traffic).
This initial release compiles but likely has a few warts and bugs that
need ironing out in the implementation before it is production ready.
Some tests will follow.
