simplify auto_base with C++17 parameter pack expansion in using

[tomjnixon]

todo:

• update the big comment
• revisit VariantParameter -- perhaps this can now be implemented without the virtual base
  • no, this is still required. one possible improvement would be to flatten the list of parameters in HasParametersImpl, so that HasParameters<A, HasParameters<B, C>> (as produced by VariantParameter) is turned into HasParameters<A, B, C>, producing fewer Combine classes.
  • yeah, now that i understand how virtual inheritance works, it's obvious that it can be done with CRTP. parameter pack expansion still makes this much cleaner than would have been possible before
• check if the visibility still makes sense now that it's possible to change it all in one place
  • no, this is required because the template wrapper functions have the same names as the tag-dispatched functions
• try auto-detecting which methods to merge, as it may be simpler than using the Flags thing
  • no: VariantParameter uses HasParameters, so the has etc. methods are overloaded, which can't be detected without knowing the parameter types
• check impact on binary size and build time
  • shared debug
    • any build time difference is within measurement error for me
    • .so size with debug information: 39.5MB to 38.7MB
    • .so size stripped: 3.2MB to 3.1MB
