This prevents constructing a Span<A> given two pointers into an array
of B (where B is a subclass of A), at least without explicit cast to
pointers to A.

Pull request description:
This adds a `--enable-c++17` option to the configure script, fixes the only C++17 incompatibility (with a commit taken from #18468), and adds a Travis test for it.
This is all off by default, and release builds remain C++11.
It implements the first step of the plan in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/16684.
