I couldn't find a utility function to check if a type is one of
the four "special" byte types so I added one. If there already
isn't one hiding somewhere and this type of a query is done in
other places maybe the function should be moved to cp-tree.h.
Rather than adding a new test I extended the existing one that
has all the infrastructure in place to comprehensively exercise
this (maybe even overly so).
+/* Returns true if TYPE is a character type of std::byte. */
"or"
Let's name the new function is_byte_access_type to clarify that it
doesn't just mean std::byte.
Let's use the new function in build_cplus_array_type in the initializer
of "typeless_storage".
OK with those changes.
