Merge bitcoin#31524: refactor: Allow std::byte in Read(LE/BE)

fa83bec refactor: Allow std::byte in Read(LE/BE) (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

  Starting with C++17, `std::byte` is often (not always) a better choice over `uint8_t` for new code.

  However, the existing codebase discourages the use of `std::byte`, when helpers such as `ReadLE32` are used. This is because calling code will be cluttered with byte-casts.

  Fix it by allowing `std::byte` pointers in `ReadLE32` (and friends).
