The size of the small string optimization was hard coded. For some use
cases you want a bigger or smaller size. It is now configurable by a
template parameter. For that we changed the name to BasicSmallString and
added an alias of BasicSmallString<31> to SmallString.

We move the io operators in an extra header file because if we would
include ostream in smallstring.h we would blow the compile time.

SmallString is a very simple utf8 string class. It's purpose is performance.
It uses a short string opimization which provides 31 bytes of heap free
memory to save a 30 bytes long string plus null terminator. If the string
gets larger heap is allocated. The grow strategy is 1.5 to improve reuse
of allocated memory.
It uses optionally constexpr to provide string literals.
