rbtree: faster augmented rbtree manipulation
Introduce new augmented rbtree APIs that allow minimal recalculation of
augmented node information.
A new callback is added to the rbtree insertion and erase rebalancing
functions, to be called on each tree rotations. Such rotations preserve
the subtree's root augmented value, but require recalculation of the one
child that was previously located at the subtree root.
In the insertion case, the handcoded search phase must be updated to
maintain the augmented information on insertion, and then the rbtree
coloring/rebalancing algorithms keep it up to date.
In the erase case, things are more complicated since it is library
code that manipulates the rbtree in order to remove internal nodes.
This requires a couple additional callbacks to copy a subtree's
augmented value when a new root is stitched in, and to recompute
augmented values down the ancestry path when a node is removed from
the tree.
In order to preserve maximum speed for the non-augmented case,
we provide two versions of each tree manipulation function.
rb_insert_augmented() is the augmented equivalent of rb_insert_color(),
and rb_erase_augmented() is the augmented equivalent of rb_erase().
