add ability to convert between types consistenly
In our downstream systems and tools (terraform-provider-cloudflare, cf-terraforming) we often have to swap between Golang types and pseudo types. One example is with Terraform schemas and our struct types. There isn't a consistent way which means they are all implemented slightly different and there isn't a great convention. This commit aims to solve that by introducing a standard to adhear to by introducing a number of helper methods. - <type>Ptr: Accepts a value and returns a pointer. - <type>Value: Accepts a pointer and returns a value. - <type>PtrSlice: Accepts a slice of values and returns a slice of pointers. - <type>ValueSlice: Accepts a slice of pointers and returns a slice of values. - <type>Map: Accepts a string map of values into a string map of pointers. - <type>ValueMap: Accepts a string map of pointers into a string map of values. Example in Terraform where the schema is a string but we want a pointer. ```go examplePtr := cloudflare.StringPtr(d.Get("example").(string)) ```
