optional<T&&> and optional<void> for the completeness of monadic operations #119

Description

@frederick-vs-ja

optional<T&&> was once proposed but withdrawn (#70). But I think it's still meaningful in monadic operations.

I guess we can re-introduce it with the construction from T&& disallowed. I think we introduce some helper functions to create them from existing optional<T> lvalues and optional<T&> values, which should avoid most dangling cases.

Additionally, optional<void> also seems to be meaningful in monadic operations (although not elsewhere).
