Rewrite the BTreeMap cursor API using gaps
Tracking issue: #107540 Currently, a `Cursor` points to a single element in the tree, and allows moving to the next or previous element while mutating the tree. However this was found to be confusing and hard to use. This PR completely refactors cursors to instead point to a gap between two elements in the tree. This eliminates the need for a "ghost" element that exists after the last element and before the first one. Additionally, `upper_bound` and `lower_bound` now have a much clearer meaning. The ability to mutate keys is also factored out into a separate `CursorMutKey` type which is unsafe to create. This makes the API easier to use since it avoids duplicated versions of each method with and without key mutation. API summary: ```rust impl<K, V> BTreeMap<K, V> { fn lower_bound<Q>(&self, bound: Bound<&Q>) -> Cursor<'_, K, V> where K: Borrow<Q> + Ord, Q: Ord; fn lower_bound_mut<Q>(&mut self, bound: Bound<&Q>) -> CursorMut<'_, K, V> where K: Borrow<Q> + Ord, Q: Ord; fn upper_bound<Q>(&self, bound: Bound<&Q>) -> Cursor<'_, K, V> where K: Borrow<Q> + Ord, Q: Ord; fn upper_bound_mut<Q>(&mut self, bound: Bound<&Q>) -> CursorMut<'_, K, V> where K: Borrow<Q> + Ord, Q: Ord; } struct Cursor<'a, K: 'a, V: 'a>; impl<'a, K, V> Cursor<'a, K, V> { fn next(&mut self) -> Option<(&'a K, &'a V)>; fn prev(&mut self) -> Option<(&'a K, &'a V)>; fn peek_next(&self) -> Option<(&'a K, &'a V)>; fn peek_prev(&self) -> Option<(&'a K, &'a V)>; } struct CursorMut<'a, K: 'a, V: 'a>; impl<'a, K, V> CursorMut<'a, K, V> { fn next(&mut self) -> Option<(&K, &mut V)>; fn prev(&mut self) -> Option<(&K, &mut V)>; fn peek_next(&mut self) -> Option<(&K, &mut V)>; fn peek_prev(&mut self) -> Option<(&K, &mut V)>; unsafe fn insert_after_unchecked(&mut self, key: K, value: V); unsafe fn insert_before_unchecked(&mut self, key: K, value: V); fn insert_after(&mut self, key: K, value: V); fn insert_before(&mut self, key: K, value: V); fn remove_next(&mut self) -> Option<(K, V)>; fn remove_prev(&mut self) -> Option<(K, V)>; fn as_cursor(&self) -> Cursor<'_, K, V>; unsafe fn with_mutable_key(self) -> CursorMutKey<'a, K, V, A>; } struct CursorMutKey<'a, K: 'a, V: 'a>; impl<'a, K, V> CursorMut<'a, K, V> { fn next(&mut self) -> Option<(&mut K, &mut V)>; fn prev(&mut self) -> Option<(&mut K, &mut V)>; fn peek_next(&mut self) -> Option<(&mut K, &mut V)>; fn peek_prev(&mut self) -> Option<(&mut K, &mut V)>; unsafe fn insert_after_unchecked(&mut self, key: K, value: V); unsafe fn insert_before_unchecked(&mut self, key: K, value: V); fn insert_after(&mut self, key: K, value: V); fn insert_before(&mut self, key: K, value: V); fn remove_next(&mut self) -> Option<(K, V)>; fn remove_prev(&mut self) -> Option<(K, V)>; fn as_cursor(&self) -> Cursor<'_, K, V>; unsafe fn with_mutable_key(self) -> CursorMutKey<'a, K, V, A>; } ```
