This is nice mainly from an internal API standpoint. Single le32/leb128
attrs should be pretty lightweight, and it's nice for the API to reflect
that.
With a bit of tinkering with the internal lfsr_rattr_t type, we can even
pass these directly in the lfsr_rattr_t struct itself, so no need to
keep single le32/leb128 attrs on the stack:
buffer rattr: cat attr: le32/leb128 attr:
.---+---+---+---. .. .---+---+---+---. .. .---+---+---+---.
| tag |0|size | | tag |1|count| | tag |0|dsize|
+---+---+---+---+ +---+---+---+---+ +---+---+---+---+
| weight | | weight | | weight |
+---+---+---+---+ .. +---+---+---+---+ .. +---+---+---+---+
| ptr -------. | ptr -------. | le32/leb128 |
'---+---+---+---' | '---+---+---+---' | '---+---+---+---'
.---+---+---+---. | .---+---+---+---. |
| data |<' |mm| size |<'
: : : +---+---+---+---+
| data |

+---+---+---+---+
|mm| size |

While tinkering I also ended up renaming a couple things:
- rattr.cat -> rattr.u.datas, rattr.u.buffer, rattr.u.etc
- rattr.count -> rattr.data_count
- added lfsr_rattr_dtag for ignoring on-disk/explicit-data tags
- lfsr_rattr_size -> lfsr_rattr_dsize
Surprisingly very little code savings though. I guess we don't use
single le32/leb128 attrs enough to overcome the added complexity to
lfsr_rbyd_appendrattr_'s switch-case-table?
code stack ctx
before: 35636 2440 636
after: 35632 (-0.0%) 2440 (+0.0%) 636 (+0.0%)
That or there's something else weird going on with this union and
compiler assumptions. Attempting to adopt .u.etc in LFSR_RATTR__ alone
adds ~100 bytes of code, even though both .u.etc and .u.cat are the same
type (const void *)...
Not entirely sure what's going on...
