#58 added a normalize::Bool = true keyword to the StridedView constructors, with an early return for normalize = false. The two branches produce different parent types (Matrix as given vs the normalized Vector), and Julia 1.10 does not constant-fold the keyword, so even StridedView(::Matrix) infers as a Union there. This breaks the @inferred broadcast tests of Strided.jl on Julia 1.10 (QuantumKitHub/Strided.jl#93).

This replaces the keyword by a public (unexported) unsafe_stridedview(T, parent, size, strides, offset, op) that skips normalization, used at all former normalize = false call sites, and adds an @inferred(StridedView(A)) test. Removing the keyword is technically an API change, but it was only exposed in v0.5.4, so this is released as v0.5.5.

Checked on Julia 1.10.12: the StridedViews tests pass, and Strided's othertests.jl passes against this branch.

This is clearly less nice, but I do think it is worth it to fix the type stability regression on 1.10...
