Merge #20464: refactor: Treat CDataStream bytes as uint8_t

fa29272 Remove redundant MakeUCharSpan wrappers (MarcoFalke)
faf4aa2 Remove CDataStream::Init in favor of C++11 member initialization (MarcoFalke)
fada14b Treat CDataStream bytes as uint8_t (MarcoFalke)
fa8bdb0 refactor: Drop CDataStream constructors in favor of one taking a Span of bytes (MarcoFalke)
faa96f8 Remove unused CDataStream methods (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

  Using `uint8_t` for raw bytes has a style benefit:
  * The signedness is clear from reading the code, as it does not depend on the architecture

  Other clean-ups in this pull include:
  * Remove unused methods
  * Constructor is simplified with `Span`
  * Remove `Init()` member in favor of C++11 member initialization
