Function encode_source_block 

pub fn encode_source_block(
    source_block: &[u8],
    max_source_symbols: usize,
    nb_repair: usize,
) -> (Vec<Vec<u8>>, u32)

Encodes a source block into encoding symbols using Raptor codes.

Parameters

• source_block: A slice of vectors containing the source symbols.
• max_source_symbols: Max number of source symbols inside the source block
• nb_repair: The number of repair symbols to be generated.

Returns

a Tuple

• Vec<Vec<u8>> : A vector of vectors of bytes representing the encoding symbols (source symbols + repair symbol).
• u32 : Number of source symbols (k)

The function uses Raptor codes to generate the specified number of repair symbols from the source block.
