/**
 * Implementation of a sparse hash map using open-addressing with quadratic probing.
 * The goal on the hash map is to be the most memory efficient possible, even at low load factor,
 * while keeping reasonable performances.
 * 
 * `GrowthPolicy` defines how the map grows and consequently how a hash value is mapped to a bucket. 
 * By default the map uses `tsl::sh::power_of_two_growth_policy`. This policy keeps the number of buckets 
 * to a power of two and uses a mask to map the hash to a bucket instead of the slow modulo.
 * Other growth policies are available and you may define your own growth policy, 
 * check `tsl::sh::power_of_two_growth_policy` for the interface.
 * 
 * `ExceptionSafety` defines the exception guarantee provided by the class. By default only the basic
 * exception safety is guaranteed which mean that all resources used by the hash map will be freed (no memory leaks) 
 * but the hash map may end-up in an undefined state if an exception is thrown (undefined here means that some elements  
 * may be missing). This can ONLY happen on rehash (either on insert or if `rehash` is called explicitly) and will
 * occur if the Allocator can't allocate memory (`std::bad_alloc`) or if the copy constructor (when a nothrow 
 * move constructor is not available) throws an exception. This can be avoided by calling `reserve` beforehand.
 * This basic guarantee is similar to the one of `google::sparse_hash_map` and `spp::sparse_hash_map`.
 * It is possible to ask for the strong exception guarantee with `tsl::sh::exception_safety::strong`, the drawback
 * is that the map will be slower on rehashes and will also need more memory on rehashes.
 * 
 * `Sparsity` defines how much the hash set will compromise between insertion speed and memory usage. A high
 * sparsity means less memory usage but longer insertion times, and vice-versa for low sparsity. The default 
 * `tsl::sh::sparsity::medium` sparsity offers a good compromise. It doesn't change the lookup speed.
 * 
 * `Key` and `T` must be nothrow move constructible and/or copy constructible.
 * 
 * If the destructor of `Key` or `T` throws an exception, the behaviour of the class is undefined.
 * 
 * Iterators invalidation:
 *  - clear, operator=, reserve, rehash: always invalidate the iterators.
 *  - insert, emplace, emplace_hint, operator[]: if there is an effective insert, invalidate the iterators.
 *  - erase: always invalidate the iterators.
