Ichthyostega c5679b0fd0 Library: Uninitialised-Storage array (see #1204)
Introduced as remedy for a long standing sloppiness:
Using a `char[]` together with `reinterpret_cast` in storage management helpers
bears danger of placing objects with wrong alignment; moreover, there are increasing
risks that modern code optimisers miss the ''backdoor access'' and might apply too
aggressive rewritings.

With C++17, there is a standard conformant way to express such a usage scheme.
 * `lib::UninitialisedStorage` can now be used in a situation (e.g. as in `ExtentFamily`)
   where a complete block of storage is allocated once and then subsequently used
   to plant objects one by one
 * moreover, I went over the code base and adapted the most relevant usages of
   ''placement-new into buffer'' to also include the `std::launder()` marker
