std::from_chars(), introduced in C++17, is a fast, locale-independent string-to-arithmetic conversion function. The C++ standard library provides overloads for all integer types, making it a prime candidate to replace the manual handling of integer sizes in the YamlParser string to integer conversion. Compared to std::strtol(), std::from_chars() doesn't recognize the '0x' prefix or '+' prefix, and doesn't ignore leading white space. As the YamlParser doesn't require those features, std::from_chars() can be used safely, reducing the amount of code. C++17 also requires the standard C++ library to provide overloads for floating-point types, but libc++ does not implement those. The float and bool implementations of YamlParser::Getter::get() are therefore kept as-is.
