Problem statement: sisl::Bitset is a full blown implementation of bit mapping and it supports serialization. This is meant for larger bit sequences like blk allocation and id space etc. However, there is a need to have a small memory footprint (where bunch of bits are to be turned into bitset). This is especially needed to be hosted inside a btree node or hash value etc. Requirement is to have very limited functionality, but no header serialization.
Solution: This PR introduces the CompactBitset, which does support set/reset bits and find next available set / reset bit. The caller is expected to provide the buffer and its size as part of its constructor (though it does have a buildable constructor as well).
Testing: Introduced the test_compact_bitset to test this feature.
Additional changes: Changed sisl to be C++-20 compiler requirements
