Module ranges 

Data types for visiting metadata ranges at different granularities.

Currently, the break_bit_range function can break a bit range into sub-ranges of whole bytes and in-byte bits.

TODO:

• Add a function to break a byte range into sub-ranges of whole words and in-word bytes.
  • And use it for searching side metadata for non-zero bits.
• Add a function to break a byte range at chunk boundaries.
  • And use it for visiting discontiguous side metadata in bulk.

Enums
