What's Changed

• supports now three table types: Table, Lite and Fast
• refactored the package layout, put the different nodes in an internal package
• API change: removed already deprecated methods
• API change: the Modify methods have a different (simpler) signature
• the different nodes share a lot in common, use code generation for the common parts

• bump to go1.24.0
• deprecated GetAndDelete
• deprecated GetAndDeletePersist
• deprecated Update
• deprecated UpdatePersist
• implemented Equal
• implemented Modify
• implemented ModifyPersist
• implemented WalkPersist

implements UnionPersist

refactored code for payload cloning, needed for copy-on-write

When applying the ...Persist methods in lock-free concurrency scenarios, it turns out that using sync.Pool is not efficient/profitable.

minor improvements using sync.Pool for trie nodes

just better tests and documentation
