Packets, chunks, parameters and error causes - the SCTP entities
that are sent on the wire - are buffers with fields that are stored
in big endian and that generally consist of a fixed header size, and
a variable sized part, that can e.g. be encoded sub-fields or
serialized strings.
The BoundedByteReader and BoundedByteWriter utilities make it easy
to read those fields with as much aid from the compiler as possible,
by having compile-time assertions that fields are not accessed
outside the buffer's span.
There are some byte reading functionality already in modules/rtp_rtcp,
but that module would be a bit unfortunate to depend on, and doesn't
have the compile time bounds checking that is the biggest feature of
this abstraction of an rtc::ArrayView.
