cfd7ee2487ed9b5636d8f83d3850c02e3b4a5cb0 by Jorg Brown <jorg@google.com>:

Add union padding to AsTree, to avoid issues on 32-bit MSVC 2015 compilers

alignas() causes compiler errors as per https://godbolt.org/z/vaTKjn
This change uses explicit padding to achieve what we want: https://godbolt.org/z/Mfjhhj

Make the casting functions flat() and ring() be static_cast, rather than reinterpret_cast.

Integrate CordRepRing logic into cord (but do not enable it)

Fix a typo in the description of ::equal_range(). The correct return is actually a half-open range [first, last).
