This lets us avoid pointlessly checking release assertions in a safe comparison loop.
In particular, for Span<char>, this lets the compiler use memcmp, speeding up comparisons by over an order of magnitude.

This is a best effort attempt at ensuring that the adverse impact of
reformatting the entire tree over the comments would be minimal. I've used a
combination of strategies including disabling of formatting, some manual
formatting and some changes to formatting to work around some clang-format
limitations.

Same approach as the other bug, mostly replacing automatically by removing
'using mozilla::Forward;' and then:
s/mozilla::Forward/std::forward/
s/Forward</std::forward</
The only file that required manual fixup was TestTreeTraversal.cpp, which had
a class called TestNodeForward with template parameters :)

Delete Span's implicit constructors for char* and char16_t* pointers to avoid accidental construction in cases where a pointer does not point to a zero-terminated string. Use the MakeStringSpan() function instead.
I deleted both the const and non-const char* and char16_t* constructors, in the name of cross-compiler consistency. If we only delete the const char* and char16_t* constructors, for some reason, MSVC complains that `Span<char> s(charArray)` uses a deleted constructor while clang nor gcc permit it. I don't know if this is a compiler bug in MSVC or clang and gcc.
Also, do not permit MakeSpan() for string literals (const char and char16_t arrays) because the Span length would include the zero terminator, which may surprise callers. Use MakeStringSpan() to create a Span whose length that excludes the string literal's zero terminator or use the MakeSpan() overload that accepts a pointer and length and specify the string literal's full length.
The following Span usages are prevented:
Span<const char> span("literal"); // error
Span<char> span(charArray); // error
Span<const char> span;
span = "literal"; // error
span = charArray; // error
MakeSpan("literal"); // error
The following Span usages are still permitted:
assert(MakeStringSpan("literal") == 8); // OK: span length is calculated with strlen() and excludes the zero terminator
MakeStringSpan(charArray); // OK: span length is calculated with strlen() and excludes the zero terminator
MakeSpan(charArray); // OK: span length is the char array size including any zero terminator

I can't speak for whether the MOZ_SPAN_GCC_CONSTEXPR on operator> is necessary, but I'm going on the assumption that any callers of it must also be in the same bucket of constexpr-ness.
