eb70644c1c intrusive-array: Array with trusted bounds
A plain array of elements that grows and shrinks by
constructing the new instance from an existing one and
moving the elements from it.

Behaves similarly to vector's external array, but has
0-bytes overhead. The array bounds (0-th and N-th
elemements) are determined by checking the flags on the
elements themselves. For this the type must support
getters and setters for the flags.

To remove an element from array there's also a nothrow
option that drops the requested element from array,
shifts the righter ones left and keeps the trailing
unused memory (so called "train") until reconstruction
or destruction.

Also comes with lower_bound() helper that helps keeping
the elements sotred and the from_element() one that
returns back reference to the array in which the element
sits.
