#12906: Add support for string_view

Milestone:  To Be Determined       |  Component:  spirit
  Version:  Boost 1.63.0           |   Severity:  Problem

-----------------------------------+---------------------
 Please, add native support for attributes of type `boost::string_view`
 (and possibly `std::string_view`) to Boost.Spirit.Qi. I think, the best
 way to do this is to add a new directive, `as_string_view` (and
 `as_wstring_view`) which could be used similarly to `as_string`
 (`as_wstring`) but produce a `boost::string_view` (`boost::wstring_view`)
 value instead of `std::string` (`std::wstring`). Obviously, the directive
 would only be usable if the character iterator type is a pointer, but that
 is likely the most typical case anyway.
