#4015 requires sweeping changes in order to allow a migration of our buffer
coordinates from `int16_t` to `int32_t`. This commit reduces the size of
future commits by using type inference wherever possible, dropping the
need to manually adjust types throughout the project later.
As an added bonus this commit standardizes the alignment of cv qualifiers
to be always left of the type (e.g. `const T&` instead of `T const&`).
The migration to type inference with `auto` was mostly done
using JetBrains Resharper with some manual intervention and the
standardization of cv qualifier alignment using clang-format 14.
## References
This is preparation work for #4015.
## Validation Steps Performed
* Tests pass ✅
## Summary of the Pull Request
Introduces `til::rle`, a vector-like container which stores elements of
type T in a run length encoded format. This allows efficient compaction
of repeated elements within the vector.
## References
* #8000 - Supports buffer rewrite work. A re-use of `til::rle` will be
useful as a column counter as we pursue NxM storage and presentation.
* #3075 - The new iterators allow skipping forward by multiple units,
which wasn't possible under `TextBuffer-/OutputCellIterator`.
Additionally it also allows a bulk insertions.
* #8787 and #410 - High probability this should be `pmr`-ified
like `bitmap` for things like `chafa` and `cacafire`
which are changing the run length frequently.
## PR Checklist
* [x] Closes#8741
* [x] I work here.
* [x] Tests added.
* [x] Tests passed.
## Validation Steps Performed
* [x] Ran `cacafire` in `OpenConsole.exe` and it looked beautiful
* [x] Ran new suite of `RunLengthEncodingTests.cpp`
