std::from_chars(), introduced in C++17, is a fast, locale-independent
string-to-arithmetic conversion function. The C++ standard library
provides overloads for all integer types, making it a prime candidate to
replace the manual handling of integer sizes in the YamlParser string to
integer conversion.
Compared to std::strtol(), std::from_chars() doesn't recognize the '0x'
prefix or '+' prefix, and doesn't ignore leading white space. As the
YamlParser doesn't require those features, std::from_chars() can be used
safely, reducing the amount of code.
C++17 also requires the standard C++ library to provide overloads for
floating-point types, but libc++ does not implement those. The float and
bool implementations of YamlParser::Getter::get() are therefore kept
as-is.
