This begins to attempt to restructure the source tree so that the common parts
are common and the different parts are different.
The backend is now split into two parts:
- serial (containing the implementation using serial formulas and mixed-model arithmetic).
- vector (containing the implementation using parallel formulas and single-model arithmetic).
The serial scalar_mul tree is now under backend::serial::scalar_mul.
The avx2 scalar_mul tree is now under backend::avx2::scalar_mul.
This change provides a common convention for using allocator-dependent
features with:
#![cfg(feature = "alloc")]
When available, `Vec` is imported consistently as `prelude::Vec`, which
means modules that need access to `Vec` can simply do:
use prelude::*;
and if an allocator is available, `Vec` will be in the crate prelude.
This allows all `alloc` vs `std` gating to be handled in `lib.rs`,
`build.rs`, and `prelude.rs` so the rest of the codebase doesn't have to
do any gating whatsoever.
