   Implement begin_ptr and end_ptr in serialize.h in terms of C++11 code, and add a comment that they are deprecated.

   Follow-up to developer notes update in 654a211.

   Also add a data() method to prevector, this is necessary to support this.

2. prevector: add C++11-like data() method

   This returns a pointer to the beginning of the vector's data.

   Removed a stray ’noexcept’ from the prevector.h patch, it came in from std::vector’s .data() implementation but we use that keyword nowhere else not convinced we should now.
