Polyfill cetl::optional, extend the testing suite

[pavel-kirienko]

• Add optional and related entities such as make_optional, nullopt, in_place, etc.
• Add type_traits.hpp.
• Fix usage of CETL_PROJECT_VERSION in the build recipes.
• Disable C++ extensions in CETLVaSt (they were mistakenly left enabled).
• Add basic typelist operations to CETLVaSt that are needed for exhaustive combinatorial testing.
• Add the CETL_NODISCARD attribute.
• Add a useful feature to the GitHub Actions workflow: run CI jobs for all pushes where the head commit contains a hashtag with the name of the job; e.g., adding #verification to the commit message will run the verification job.

This PR is feature- and testing-complete but lacks the docs, which I am going to add next. The code is ready to be reviewed meanwhile. You may notice that the coverage reporting is odd because there are a few places where templates are not marked as instantiated while they actually are, also some branches in the comparison operators appear to be mislabeled as partially-covered.

The commit history is non-informative and should not be looked at, as it will be squashed anyway.

My next step is to finish #51 (which is blocked on cetl::optional) and then perhaps switch to #86, because there are certain similarities between optional and variant that will make it easier for me to do this part now rather than later.

Regarding the naming convention used see #85

Still reviewing but I'll flush these comments. Most important is is_nothrow_swapable is not in C++14.

[pavel-kirienko]

Heads up: I tweaked two Doxygen settings to eliminate unhelpful warnings about undocumented enum members (well-named entities may not require explicit docs) and to automatically distribute docs to all group members to reduce doc copypasta.

Perused the code. Looks good. Should definitely be enough to fulfill our immediate use case in Libcyphal. Approving

Please add a task to create a cetlvast/suites/docs/examples/ example for optional in the future.
