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.

This adds a new `CPPType` that encapsulates information about how to handle
instances of a specific data type. This is necessary for the function evaluation
system, which will be used to evaluate most of the particle node trees.
Furthermore, this adds an `IndexMask` class which offers a surprisingly useful
abstraction over an array containing unsigned integers. It makes two assumptions
about the underlying integer array:
* The integers are in ascending order.
* There are no duplicates.
`IndexMask` will be used to "select" certain particles that will be
processed in a data-oriented way. Sometimes, operations don't have to
be applied to all particles, but only some, those that are in the indexed by
the `IndexMask`. The two limitations imposed by an `IndexMask` allow for
better performance.
