compare_unsigned() is a general utility function that compares two
bytes_view byte-by-byte. There is no need to include whole type.hh in
order to make it available.
Since bytes is used to encapsulate blobs, not strings, there's no
need for a NUL terminator. It will never be passed to a function
that expects a C string.

- introcduced "seastarx.hh" header, which does a "using namespace seastar";
- 'net' namespace conflicts with seastar::net, renamed to 'netw'.
- 'transport' namespace conflicts with seastar::transport, renamed to
cql_transport.
- "logger" global variables now conflict with logger global type, renamed
to xlogger.
- other minor changes
bytes and sstring are distinct types, since their internal buffers are of
different length, but bytes_view is an alias of sstring_view, which makes
it possible of objects of different types to leak across the abstraction
boundary.
Fix this by making bytes a basic_sstring<int8_t, ...> instead of using char.
int8_t is a 'signed char', which is a distinct type from char, so now
bytes_view is a distinct type from sstring_view.
uint8_t would have been an even better choice, but that diverges from Origin
and would have required an audit.
