Crate columnar

Types supporting flat / “columnar” layout for complex types.

The intent is to re-layout Vec<T> types into vectors of reduced complexity, repeatedly. One should be able to push and pop easily, but indexing will be more complicated because we likely won’t have a real T lying around to return as a reference. Instead, we will use Generic Associated Types (GATs) to provide alternate references.
