iqdb-build 0.6.0

Parallel index construction, incremental updates, and merging - part of the iQDB family.
Documentation
//! Incremental build: start from an index and append more vectors with
//! `build_into`, including through a `&mut dyn IndexCore` trait object.
//!
//! Run with:
//!
//! ```sh
//! cargo run --example incremental
//! ```
