v2.2: add PackageProject.cmake (#21)

* add PackageProject

* add install workflow

* add Badge

* ok NOW add install workflow

* fix install interface

* remove non-existant dependencies

v2.1: Better const support (#15)

* add better const support

* update version

* rename benchmark section

New Iterator API

Why

Based on recent feedback the interface has been changed to resemble C++ standard library containers.

New API

#include <bit_lens.h>
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>

int main() {
  bit_lens::BitContainer<std::vector<unsigned>> bits; // create a bit container based on vector<unsigned>
  // bit_lens::BitLens bits(container); // or create a lens into an existing container
  bits.resize(10); // resize the container to store at least 10 bits
  bits.size(); // the actual number of bits that the container can store
  bits[8];// gets the 8th bit
  bits[8] = 1; // sets the 8th bit
  for (auto bit: bits) { bit = 1; } // iterate over all bits
  std::count(bits.begin(), bits.end(), true); // <algorithm> compatible iterators
  for (auto &v: bits.data()) { // access the underlying container
    v &= 0b1101; // perform bitwise bulk operations for best performance (see benchmark)
  }
}

Breaking: rename Project to BitLens

API changes:

• CMake's target name BitView -> BitLens
• Namespace and class rename bit_view::Container -> bit_lens::Lens
