Constrain code unit adaptors to same-width integral and byte sources - #262

Conversation
Per SG16 feedback, replace the convertible_to constraint on as_charT with a rule that accepts a source type U if it is Char itself, or if it is std::byte or a non-bool integral type with sizeof(U) == sizeof(Char). The exposition-only functor now performs the cast with static_cast. This rejects narrowing and widening conversions, conversions between distinct charN_t types, floating-point and bool sources, enumerations other than std::byte, and class types, while accepting std::byte and same-width integer buffers. Add a design discussion section with rationale, alternatives, and a conversion table, and add unit tests covering the accept/reject matrix and the static_cast semantics for byte and signed sources.
