Gennaro Prota ec624ed0d4 Add an experimental basic_static_cstring template in example/

This introduces a lightweight alternative to basic_static_string
designed for use in POD types: trivially copyable, sizeof == N + 1,
no embedded NULs.

Placed in example/ to gather user feedback before committing to a public
API. See <https://github.com/boostorg/static_string/issues/23>.

This directory contains an experimental implementation of basic_static_cstring, which differs from basic_static_string in the following ways:

	`basic_static_cstring`	`basic_static_string`
Layout	`sizeof == N + 1`	Has size member
Embedded NULs	Not supported	Supported
Trivially copyable	Yes	No

Additionally, when N <= UCHAR_MAX, basic_static_cstring employs an optimization that avoids calling std::strlen() to compute the size.

This work stems from boostorg/static_string#23.

If you believe basic_static_cstring should become part of the public API, please share your feedback on the Boost mailing list.
