A memory efficient inplementation of red-black tree

Red-Black Tree

The purpose of this library is to provide an algorithm framework that allows users to create memory efficient red-black tree.

The algorithm is implemented on top of the Node and NodePtr traits, instead of concrete structs. Users can define their own memory layout with techniques such as bit field or shorter memory address to reduce the per node memory footprint. Parent pointers are not necessary in this implementation to reduce memory consumption. Instead, a temporary tree which keeps the parent relationship is maintained on the call stack while traversing the tree nodes. As a result, this is not an in-place implementation.
