Eliminate `byte`-typedef and use `uint8_t` in all their places instead.

This change is made to (easily) be forward compatible with future C++
standards, in order to allow compiling the code with newer standards at
some point in the future.

* Removed the `using byte = uint8_t;` line from Common.h
* Mechanically change all uses of `byte` to `uint8_t`.

Tested with GCC 7.3 in C++11/14/17 modes :-)
