Explanation: C++ templates are imported as Swift generics. Unfortunately, the codegen for some of the instantiations will crash codegen due to a confusion in how Swift pointer types are mapped back to their native counterparts. As a result, when a user is passing an UnsafePointer? to a C++ span constructor we got a crash. The user should never need the generic version of the initializer as we already have an initializer taking an UnsafePointer in the C++ overlay. This PR avoids importing the templated span constructors to work around this issue.
