WIP: what if we don't check when getting capture

We still keep the error check in the function, but hide it in an
outlined function inside a .cpp file, to promote inlining of the
retrieval part.

In the future, we should explore two things

1) Skipping over the context retrieval here, allowing direct access.
   I currently do not see a way to do this while keeping the
   "greppability" of mutable vs immutable accesses that is there now,
   but it would help a lot when inlining is not enabled.
2) Removing the error check, to make the function trivially inlinable,
   and without branches.

**runtime difference**

| --------- | Debug | Release |
|:----------|------:|--------:|
| Slow path |  0.98 |    1.07 |
| Fast path |  1.04 |    1.08 |

We lost bit of performance on the assertion slow path in debug mode,
but together with the previous commit, it comes out at net zero.
For other combinations, we see 5-10% perf improvement across the
two commits.

-## What is Catch2?
-
-Catch2 is mainly a unit testing framework for C++, but it also
-provides basic micro-benchmarking features, and simple BDD macros.
-
-Catch2's main advantage is that using it is both simple and natural.
-Test names do not have to be valid identifiers, assertions look like
-normal C++ boolean expressions, and sections provide a nice and local way
-to share set-up and tear-down code in tests.
-
-**Example unit test**
-```cpp
-#include <catch2/catch_test_macros.hpp>
-
-#include <cstdint>
-
-uint32_t factorial( uint32_t number ) {
-    return number <= 1 ? number : factorial(number-1) * number;
-}
-
-TEST_CASE( "Factorials are computed", "[factorial]" ) {
-    REQUIRE( factorial( 1) == 1 );
-    REQUIRE( factorial( 2) == 2 );
-    REQUIRE( factorial( 3) == 6 );
-    REQUIRE( factorial(10) == 3'628'800 );
-}
-```
-
-**Example microbenchmark**
-```cpp
-#include <catch2/catch_test_macros.hpp>
-#include <catch2/benchmark/catch_benchmark.hpp>
-
-#include <cstdint>
-
-uint64_t fibonacci(uint64_t number) {
-    return number < 2 ? number : fibonacci(number - 1) + fibonacci(number - 2);
-}
-
-TEST_CASE("Benchmark Fibonacci", "[!benchmark]") {
-    REQUIRE(fibonacci(5) == 5);
-
-    REQUIRE(fibonacci(20) == 6'765);
-    BENCHMARK("fibonacci 20") {
-        return fibonacci(20);
-    };
-
-    REQUIRE(fibonacci(25) == 75'025);
-    BENCHMARK("fibonacci 25") {
-        return fibonacci(25);
-    };
-}
-```
-
-_Note that benchmarks are not run by default, so you need to run it explicitly
-with the `[!benchmark]` tag._
-
-
-## Catch2 v3 has been released!
-
-You are on the `devel` branch, where the v3 version is being developed.
-v3 brings a bunch of significant changes, the big one being that Catch2
-is no longer a single-header library. Catch2 now behaves as a normal
-library, with multiple headers and separately compiled implementation.
-
-The documentation is slowly being updated to take these changes into
-account, but this work is currently still ongoing.
-
-For migrating from the v2 releases to v3, you should look at [our
-documentation](docs/migrate-v2-to-v3.md#top). It provides a simple
-guidelines on getting started, and collects most common migration
-problems.
-
-For the previous major version of Catch2 [look into the `v2.x` branch
-here on GitHub](https://github.com/catchorg/Catch2/tree/v2.x).
-
-
-## How to use it
-This documentation comprises these three parts:
-
-* [Why do we need yet another C++ Test Framework?](docs/why-catch.md#top)
-* [Tutorial](docs/tutorial.md#top) - getting started
-* [Reference section](docs/Readme.md#top) - all the details
-
-
-## More
-* Issues and bugs can be raised on the [Issue tracker on GitHub](https://github.com/catchorg/Catch2/issues)
-* For discussion or questions please use [our Discord](https://discord.gg/4CWS9zD)
-* See who else is using Catch2 in [Open Source Software](docs/opensource-users.md#top)
-or [commercially](docs/commercial-users.md#top).
