Use character literals instead of integer hex values (i.e. `'\x5b','\x0a', ...` instead of `0x5b, 0x0a, ...`) for generated headers.
This avoids C++11 narrowing warnings in a more concise way than using explicit char casts.
Extra whitespace is also removed between elements for brevity.

Replaced multiple file writes with a single string template write.
The raw content is first grouped into 8 byte chunks, followed by another regex replace which wraps them in `std::byte`.
Tested the output with `diff -w` and they're the same - only whitespace differences because slightly different source formatting.

faecca9a85 test: Use span for raw data (MarcoFalke)
fac973647d test: Use string_view for json_tests (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
The build system converts raw data into a C++ header file for tests.
This change modernizes the code to use the convenience wrappers `std::span` and `std::string_view`, so that redundant copies can be avoided.

This change allows to drop brittle sizeof calls in favor of the
std::span::size method.
Other improvements include:
* Use of a namespace to mark test and bench data
* Use of the modern std::byte
* Drop of a no longer used std::vector copy and the bench/data module
