virtual_buffer: Add compile-time type-safety guarantees with VirtualBuffer
VirtualBuffer makes use of VirtualAlloc (on Windows) and mmap() (on other platforms). Neither of these ensure that non-trivial objects are properly constructed in the allocated memory. To prevent potential undefined behavior occurring due to that, we can add a static assert to loudly complain about cases where that is done.
