util: implement noexcept move assignment & move ctor for prevector

Details

Summary

prevector's move assignment and move constructor were not noexcept, which makes it inefficient to use inside STL containers like std::vector. That's the case e.g. for CScriptCheck. This PR adds noexcept, and also implements the move assignment & ctor, which makes it quite a bit more efficient to use prevector in an std::vector.

The PR also adds a benchmark which grows an std::vector by adding prevector objects to it.

Adds a few static_asserts so CScriptCheck stays is_nothrow_move_assignable, is_nothrow_move_constructible, and is_nothrow_destructible

As can be seen, mostly thanks to just noexcept the benchmark becomes about 2 times faster because std::vector can now use move operations instead of having to fall back to copy everything

should be in assumptions.h ? Not blocking but maybe a follow-up

assumptions.h currently only deals with external/standard types. We probably don't want to add a dependency to CScriptCheck to it
