comex 13396c96ac Use requires clauses to better disambiguate variadic and non-variadic overloads
Suppose you try to call, say, `AddEntryPoint` with a `std::vector<Id>`
as the `interfaces` argument - something that yuzu does.  This can match
the non-variadic overload, since `std::vector<Id>` is implicitly
convertible to the argument type `std::span<const Id>`.  But it can also
match the variadic overload, and the compiler sees that as a 'better'
match because it doesn't require implicit conversion.  So it picks that
overload and promptly errors out trying to convert `std::vector<Id>` to
`Id`.

To make the compiler pick the right overload, you would have to
explicitly convert to `std::span<const Id>`, which is annoyingly
verbose.

To avoid this, add `requires` clauses to all variadic convenience
overloads, requiring each of the variadic arguments to be convertible to
the corresponding element type.  If you pass a vector/array/etc., this
rules out the variadic overload as a candidate, and the call goes
through with the non-variadic overload.

Also, use slightly different code to forward to the non-variadic
overloads, that works even if the arguments need to be converted.

Note: I used this in a WIP branch updating yuzu to the latest version of
sirit.

Note 2: I tried to run clang-format on this, but it mangled the requires
clauses pretty horribly, so I didn't accept its changes.  I googled it,
and apparently clang-format doesn't properly support concepts yet...
