Span can be constructed from empty std::array safely (#686)

* Span std::array c'tor uses arr.data() instead of &arr[0] - Fixes runtime issues when constructing from an empty std::array * Construct span with std::data if C++17 detected * Specialize span c'tor for std::array of length 0, set storage to nullptr
