..."span should have size_type, not index_type"
(<http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2019/p1872r0.pdf>), as
implemented by libc++ since <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/
1466335cf4b2854a0be1defcf279fe50772bad6f> "[libc++][P1872] span should have
size_type, not index_type."
All uses of index_type had been added to mitigate the previous std::span change
from signed (ptrdiff_t) to unsigned (size_t) index_type, see
6ef8420fdb "Adapt o3tl::span to updated C++2a
std::span". There is no easy solution to transparently support all three
std::span variants currently out there (signed index_type, unsigned index_type,
unsigned size_type), without causing compilation failures due to
CPPUNIT_ASSERT_EQUAL with arguments of different types, or compiler warnings
about mixed signed/unsigned comparisons. So rule out the oldest std::span
variant (signed index_type) in configure.ac (so that o3tl::span will use its
own hand-rolled code in that case) and simplify the uses of index_type to
std::size_t (as had already been mentioned in
6ef8420fdb).
