Add specialization for is_bitwise_comparable<cuco::pair>> #335

This PR fixes a bug introduced with the new open_addressing_impl abstraction layer:
Tl;dr, for the packed_cas code path in cuco::experimental::static_map::insert() we need to bitwise_compare a cuco::pair. However, since cuco::pair has no unique object representation by default, it is not is_bitwise_comparable. Compilation fails with an assertion error here.

This PR adds the missing specialization for is_bitwise_comparable<cuco::pair>.

This is dangerous. If someone used a pair<char, int> as their key type, then it would be considered bitwise comparable, even though it would have padding bits.

Right. would adding && sizeof(pair<First, Second>) == sizeof(First)+sizeof(Second) help?

Remind me where we need to perform a bitwise equality on a pair?

For a static_map, the value_type of the underlying open_addressing_impl is cuco::pair<Key, Value>.

@sleeepyjack This can be closed.

The work is replaced by #356 since the root cause is that we shouldn't compare the whole slot for map key equality checks.
