Accessor aliases

In order to reduce the verbosity of programming with SYCL accessors,
this proposal aims to reduce the number of template parameters
to just 2 from the current 4 (placeholders accessors even have 5).
It achieves this by adding aliases to accessors
based on the access target
and slightly revised rules for access modes.

1. Added aliases to accessors
  * `buffer_accessor`,
  * `constant_buffer_accessor
  * `host_accessor`
2. Deduce access mode based on constness of data type
  * `access::mode::read` for `const dataT`
  * `access::mode::read_write` for `dataT`
3. Allow conversions to new aliases
4. Return aliases from buffer access
  * `get_device_access`
  * `get_device_constant_access`
  * `get_host_access`
5. Allow any accessor to be registered with `handler::require`
6. Overload for `handler::require` that also takes an access mode
  * Hint to the scheduler
7. Type traits to help with deducing access modes
  * `access_mode_from_type`
  * `type_from_access_mode`
8. Default all accessor template parameters
  * Expect the data type
  * Default to an accessor to global buffer with read-write access
  * Assumes any accessor can be a placeholder
9. Discussed some considerations and alternatives
10. Examples of reduced verbosity
