BLI: generally improve C++ data structures

The main focus here was to improve the docs significantly. Furthermore,
I reimplemented `Set`, `Map` and `VectorSet`. They are now (usually)
faster, simpler and more customizable. I also rewrote `Stack` to make
it more efficient by avoiding unnecessary copies.

Thanks to everyone who helped with constructive feedback.

Approved by brecht and sybren.

/** \file

*
* This is a container that contains a fixed size array. Note however, the size of the array is not
* a template argument. Instead it can be specified at the construction time.
* A `BLI::Array<T>` is a container for a fixed size array the size of which is NOT known at
* compile time.
*
* If the size is known at compile time, `std::array<T, N>` should be used instead.
*
* BLI::Array should usually be used instead of BLI::Vector whenever the number of elements is
* known at construction time. Note however, that BLI::Array will default construct all elements
* when initialized with the size-constructor. For trivial types, this does nothing. In all other
* cases, this adds overhead. If this becomes a problem, a different constructor which does not do
* default construction can be added.
*
* A main benefit of using Array over Vector is that it expresses the intent of the developer
* better. It indicates that the size of the data structure is not expected to change. Furthermore,
* you can be more certain that an array does not overallocate.
*
* BLI::Array supports small object optimization to improve performance when the size turns out to
* be small at run-time.
