Dion Moult 4b642c5e00 ifcparse: make deleting and creating instances work on RocksDB-backed files
file.remove() on a RocksDB-backed file segfaulted. Reducing it turned up
five gaps that each made editing such a file crash or silently do
nothing:

- process_deletion_inverse() decoded the v| inverse-record values as
  size_t while the serializer, register_inverse(), unregister_inverse()
  and instances_by_reference() use uint32_t, so std::find failed and
  vals.erase(end()) was undefined behaviour. It also took the DeleteRange
  end from an iterator that is invalid when the instance has no inverse
  records. Decode as uint32_t, remove every occurrence guarded on
  "found", and derive the range end from the prefix itself.
- attribute_value::size() ignored storage_model_, so every aggregate
  assignment on a RocksDB instance threw "Invalid variant index" from
  set_attribute_value(). Branch on the storage model like the sibling
  accessors and count the deserialized aggregate.
- rocks_db_file_storage::create() was a stub returning an empty handle,
  which anything creating an instance then dereferenced. Implement it
  after in_memory_file_storage::create().
- max_id_ is only initialised by the in-memory parse, so a RocksDB file
  would have handed out ids that overwrite existing instances.
  Implement the recalculate_id_counter() stub per backend and run it
  once before the first fresh_id() on RocksDB.
- byid_.erase() was a no-op: set_to_map_transformer::erase() and
  rocksdb_set_view::erase() were stubs. The deleted instance's attribute
  keys and cached handle survived, entity_names() still listed it and
  reopening the database threw. Erase deletes every key under the
  instance's prefix; the transformer forwards to it and takes an
  on-erase hook the storage uses to drop the cached handle.

root.remove_product on the first 200 products of a 61 MB model now
leaves the same surviving ids and inverse counts whether the file was
opened from SPF or converted to RocksDB.

IfcOpenShell

IfcOpenShell is an open source (LGPL) software library for working with Industry Foundation Classes (IFC). Complete parsing support is provided for IFC2x3 TC1, IFC4 Add2 TC1, IFC4x1, IFC4x2, and IFC4x3 Add2. Extensive geometric support is implemented for the IFC releases IFC2x3 TC1 and IFC4 Add2 TC1. Extending with support for arbitrary IFC schemas is possible at compile-time when using C++ and at run-time when using Python.

In addition to a C++ and Python API, IfcOpenShell comes with an ecosystem of tools, notably including IfcConvert (an application to convert IFC models to other formats), Bonsai (an add-on to Blender providing a graphical IFC authoring platform), and many other libraries, CLI apps, and more. Support is also provided for auxiliary standards such as BCF and IDS.
