begin, end, cbegin and cend operations are not available for accessors

[benjamind2330]

Per the sycl 2020 standard: https://registry.khronos.org/SYCL/specs/sycl-2020/html/sycl-2020.html#sec:accessor.common.members

there should be normal iterator access to buffers through the accessor. This is particularly useful for host_accessor. As per the implementation here: https://github.com/intel/llvm/blob/sycl/sycl/include/sycl/accessor.hpp

I cannot find any reference to the begin and end operations.

Simple example code:

  sycl::buffer<sycl::id<3>, 1> ranges{3 * 3 * 3};
    auto h_ranges = ranges.get_host_access();
    auto it       = h_ranges.begin();

Fails to compile with:

error: no member named 'begin' in 'sycl::host_accessor<sycl::id<3>, 1, sycl::access::mode::read_write>'
    auto it       = h_ranges.begin();
                    ~~~~~~~~ ^

Hi @benjamind2330. This work is in progress https://github.com/intel/llvm/pull/6815

All accessor iterator methods are implemented.
