The same is done for `Vector` (and thus `Packed*Array`).
`begin` and `end` can now take any value and will be clamped to
`[-size(), size()]`. Negative values are a shorthand for indexing the array
from the last element upward.
`end` is given a default `INT_MAX` value (which will be clamped to `size()`)
so that the `end` parameter can be omitted to go from `begin` to the max size
of the array.
This makes `slice` works similarly to numpy's and JavaScript's.
We prefer to prevent using chained assignment (`T a = b = c = T();`) as this
can lead to confusing code and subtle bugs.
According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assignment_operator_(C%2B%2B), C++
allows any arbitrary return type, so this is standard compliant.
This could be re-assessed if/when we have an actual need for a behavior more
akin to that of the C++ STL, for now this PR simply changes a handful of
cases which were inconsistent with the rest of the codebase (`void` return
type was already the most common case prior to this commit).
