Currently to_string takes raw bytes. This means that to print a
data_value it has to first be serialized to be passed to to_string,
which will then deserializes it.
This patch adds a virtual to_string_impl that takes a data_value and
implements a now non virtual to_sting on top of it.
I don't expect this to have a performance impact. It mostly documents
how to access a data_value without converting it to bytes.

The to_json_string utility implementation was based on const references
instead of views, which can be a source of unnecessary memory copying.
This patch migrates all to_json_string to use bytes_view and leaves
the const reference version as a thin wrapper.

Both cql3_type and abstract_type are normally used inside
shared_ptr. This creates a problem when an abstract_type needs to refer
to a cql3_type as that creates a cycle.
To avoid warnings from asan, we were using a std::unordered_map to
store one of the edges of the cycle. This avoids the warning, but
wastes even more memory.
Even before this patch cql3_type was a fairly light weight
structure. This patch pushes in that direction and now cql3_type is a
struct with a single member variable, a data_type.
This avoids the reference cycle and is easier to understand IMHO.
