Chandler Carruth d037848a96 Replace hashtable ForEach callback with range-based iteration (#7806)
Replaces the callback-based `ForEach` methods on `RawHashtable`, `Map`,
and
`Set` with a range object supporting range-for loops, structured
bindings, and
the standard range concepts.

- Adds `.entries()` on `Map`, `Set`, and `RawHashtable`, returning a
range that
  models `std::ranges::forward_range` and `std::ranges::common_range`.
  Obtaining one is an explicit call rather than `begin()`/`end()` on the
container, as scanning a whole table is costly and shouldn't be hidden.
- Iterating a `Map` yields a `std::pair` of key and value references,
which
fits in two registers and is returned without being materialized in
memory.
- `Map::Range` and `Set::Range` are aliases of the raw hashtable's range
rather
than wrappers around it. The raw iterator produces the user-facing
reference
itself -- a `KeyT&` for a set, a pair of references for a map -- picked
by
`StorageEntry`, which is already specialized on whether there is a value
  type. That leaves one iterator to reason about instead of three.
- Deletes the rvalue `.entries()` overloads on the owning containers, as
a
  range built from a temporary table would dangle. Views don't own their
  storage, so the operation remains available on them.
- In release builds, the walk over the groups is a single induction
variable: a
  negative byte offset counting up to zero, anchored at the ends of the
metadata and entry arrays. Both arrays are then reached by indexed
addressing
off a base that stays put, and the entry pointer is formed only once a
group
  with a present entry has been found.
- In debug builds, the range hashes the table's metadata when it is
built and
re-checks that hash when it is destroyed, catching mutation of the table
while a range is live. It also picks a random starting group and a
random odd
group stride, which varies the traversal order between ranges while
still
visiting every group exactly once. That entropy is drawn when the range
is
built rather than in `begin()`, so `begin()` stays a pure function of
the
  range and the multi-pass guarantee holds.
- Removes `ForEachEntry` and all of its callers.

Measured against the iteration benchmark added in its own commit, a
traversal is at or ahead of what the callback compiled to across nearly
the
whole size range. The largest tables spend 3-5% fewer cycles, small
`Set`s as
much as 24% fewer, and instruction counts stay within about 1%. What
remains
behind is a handful of mid-sized `Map`s by up to 1%, and `Set` at 65536,
which
sits at exactly half its load factor, by 2%.

Both revisions were built with `-c opt --copt=-march=x86-64-v3` and
compared
with:

```
./scripts/bench_runner.py --exp_benchmark=... --base_benchmark=... \
    --benchmark_args=--benchmark_perf_counters=INSTRUCTIONS,CYCLES \
    --benchmark_args='--benchmark_filter=(Set|Map)Iterate<(Set|Map)<' \
    --extra_metrics_filter='(INSTRUCTIONS|CYCLES)'
```

Trimmed below to the primary integer configurations and to the two
counters;
the pointer- and string-keyed configurations follow the same pattern.

```
