This is a simple, invasive, liberally licensed red-black tree
implementation. It's an invasive data structure similar to the
Linux kernel linked-list where the intention is that you embed a
rb_node struct the data structure you intend to put into the
tree.
The implementation is mostly based on the one in "Introduction to
Algorithms", third edition, by Cormen, Leiserson, Rivest, and
Stein. There were a few other key design points:
* It's an invasive data structure similar to the [Linux kernel
linked list].
* It uses NULL for leaves instead of a sentinel. This means a few
algorithms differ a small bit from the ones in "Introduction to
Algorithms".
* All search operations are inlined so that the compiler can
optimize away the function pointer call.
