This patch provides a make_span function to simplify the
creation of spans until C++17 is available. In addition
this patch updates the unit tests to includes tests that
verify this new functionality.
This patch adds support for std::unique_ptr and
std::shared_ptr to the gsl::span
class instead of having to manually grab the pointer via
get().
For reference, this is part of the following issue:
https://github.com/Microsoft/GSL/issues/402

span being a view and not a container, the generic version of gsl::at is not valid any more for span.
This commits adds a specialization of gsl::at for span
