We've been running doxygen with the autobrief option for a couple of
years now. This makes the \brief markers into our comments
redundant. Since they are a visual distraction and we don't want to
encourage more \brief markers in new code either, this patch removes
them all.

ExponentialGrowthAppendingBinaryByteStream::writeRaw() is sometimes used for unaligned writes, so it shouldn’t be casting and dereferencing pointers. Tests in Godbolt indicate that the call to memcpy() is optimized into similar instructions anyway.
If we know the size of a type at compile time (like we do for all the
integer types), it is cheaper to assign the data buffer directly instead
of using a memcpy.
It is more efficient than llvm::AppendingBinaryByteStream if a lot of
small data gets appended to it because it doesn't need to resize its
buffer on each write.
