Add seq::range_predicate value type with unit tests

Introduce a specialized range-algebra over the unsigned character

domain [0, max_char], with canonical sorted-disjoint-non-adjacent

representation and linear-time union, intersection, complement,

difference, and symmetric difference operations.

This is Stage 1 of the derive-with-ranges plan: the value type only,

with unit tests covering factories, ordering, hashing, hand-picked

instances, and exhaustive de-Morgan / lattice laws over a small

domain (verified by enumerating all 64 subsets).

Integration with seq::derive's path conditions, the OneStep cache,

and the R&psi smart-constructor rewrite are deferred to later stages.

+Abstract:
+
+    Implementation of the specialized range-algebra used by symbolic
+    derivative computation and regex rewriting. See range_predicate.h
+    for the algebraic specification.
+
+    All Boolean operations are implemented as single linear sweeps over
+    the canonical sorted range vectors and produce canonical output
+    (sorted, disjoint, non-adjacent).
