Add more gsl::span tests [copilot] (#1189)

* Add more gsl::span tests [copilot]

This PR adds comprehensive unit tests for `gsl::span` to ensure its correctness and consistency. The following tests have been added:

1. **Empty Span Tests**:
   - Tests to verify the behavior of an empty `gsl::span` and `gsl::span<const int>`.

2. **Conversion Tests**:
   - Tests to check the conversion between different types of `gsl::span`.

3. **Comparison Operator Tests**:
   - Tests to verify the comparison operators for `gsl::span`.

4. **Deduction Guide Tests**:
   - Tests to compare the behavior of `gsl::span` and `std::span` deduction guides for various types of arrays and containers.

These tests help ensure that `gsl::span` behaves correctly in various scenarios and is consistent with `std::span`.

This PR was created with the help of GitHub Copilot.

**Changes**:
- Added tests for empty span.
- Added tests for conversions.
- Added tests for comparison operators.
- Added tests for deduction guides.

**Testing**:
- All new tests have been added to the existing test suite.
- Run the test suite using `ctest` to ensure all tests pass.This PR adds comprehensive unit tests for `gsl::span` to ensure its correctness and consistency. The following tests have been added:
