Ichthyostega e33689e5d6 Job-Planning: verify and complete the build-up of mock structures (see #1294)
The prototypical setup of data structures and test support components
is largely complete by now — with the exception of the `MockDispatcher`,
which will be completed while moving to the next steps pertaining the
setup of a frame dispatch pipeline.

 * the existing `DummyJob` was augmented to allow verification of
   association between Job and `JobTicket`
 * the existing implementation of `JobTicket` was verified and augmented
   to allow coverage of the whole usage cycle
 * a `MockJobTicket` was implemented on top, which can be generated
   from a symbolical test specification (rather than from the real
   Fixture data structure)
 * a complete `MockSegmentation` was developed, allowing to establish
   all the aforementioned data structures without an actual backing
   Render Engine. Moreover, `MockSegmentation` can be generated
   from the aforementioned symbolic test specification.
 * as part of this work, an algorithm to split an existing Segmentation
   and to splice in new segments was developed and verified

/** @file splite-splice.hpp
** Generic algorithm to splice a new segment into a seamless segmentation of intervals.
** Here _"segmentation"_ denotes a partitioning of an ordered axis into a seamless sequence
** of intervals (here called "segment"). The axis is based on some _ordering type,_ like e.g.
** `int` (natural numbers) or lib::time::Time values, and the axis is assumed to cover a complete
** domain. The intervals / segments are defined by start and end point, where the start point
** is inclusive, yet the end point is exclusive (the next ordered point after the interval).
**
** The purpose of the algorithm is to splice in a new segment (interval) at the proper location,
** based on the ordering, such as to retain the ordering and the seamless coverage of the complete
** axis domain. Since there are a lot of possible arrangements of intervals relative to one another,
** this splicing operation may necessitate to adjust _predecessor_ or _successor_ segments, and
** possibly even to insert additional segments to fill a gap, thereby effectively _splitting_
** some segment existing on the axis.
**
** # Specification
**
** The implementation relies upon the following assumptions:
** \par assumptions
** - there is an ordering type `ORD`, which is totally ordered,
** has value semantics and can be clone-initialised (can be immutable)
** - Segments are represented as custom data type and the Segmentation (axis)
** is implemented as a random-access list-like datatype with the ability to insert
** and delete ranges of elements, defined as pairs of _iterators_
** - the algorithm works solely on this _iterator type_ `POS`, which must be assignable,
** can be compared for equality (especially with the "end" iterator) and can be _incremented._
**
** All further bindings to the actual implementation are abstracted as _binding functors_
** - `START`: when invoked on a POS (iterator), get the ORD value of the segment's start point
** - `AFTER`: likewise get the end point (exclusive) of the given segment
** - `CREATE`: create the representation of the desired new segment (which is the purpose
** of invoking this algorithm) and insert it _before_ the given insert POS,
** return an iterator (POS) pointing at the newly created segment
** - `EMPTY`: similarly create a new segment, which however is classified as _empty_
** and serves to fill a gap, notably towards the end of the axis.
** - `CLONE`: insert a _clone_ of an existing segment but adapt it's start and after POS;
** this operation effectively allows to _adapt_ adjacent segments, by also deleting
** the original version after the new elements have been inserted. Return POS of clone
** - `DELETE`: delete all segments between the given start (incl) and end (excl) POS
**
** Moreover, POS (iterators) to indicate the complete domain are required, and a specification
** of the ORD values of the new segmen's _start_ and _after_ points -- which however can also
** be defined only partially (as optional values), to use contextual information...
** - if only the start point is given, then the existing segment containing this point
** will be shortened, and the new segment will cover the span until the existing segment's end
** - likewise an omitted start point will cause the new segment to be expanded towards lower ORD
** values until matching the end of the preceding segment
** - if both values are omitted, the new segment will replace the last segment of the given axis.
** The new segment may span an arbitrary range within the domain and may thus possibly supersede
** several existing segments, which are then removed by the `DELETE` operation.
