Allow extending the C++ standard codec (#20317)
Standard*Codec allows for extensions to support arbitrary types; this
had not previously been implemented for the C++ version.

Overview of changes:
- EncodableValue's std::variant type now allows for a new CustomEncodableValue, which is a thin wrapper around std::any, to store arbitrary extension types.
- ByteBufferStream* has been split into an interface class and the buffer-based implementation, with the former now part of the public API surface to be used in standard codec extensions.
  - They also gained utility methods for some common data types to simplify writing extensions.
- StandardCodecSerializer is now part of the public API surface, and is subclassable.
- StandardCodecSerializer's ReadValue has been split into ReadValue and ReadValueOfType to match the structure used when subclassing on the Dart side, for easier porting of custom extensions across languages.
- Standard*Codec now optionally accepts a non-default serializer in GetInstance, providing a shared instance using that serializer.
