util: add VecDeque

This is an STL-like container that interface-wise looks like std::deque, but
is backed by a (fixed size, with vector-like capacity/reserve) circular buffer.

+ * - More efficient and better memory locality than std::deque.
+ * - Most operations ({push_,pop_,emplace_,}{front,back}(), operator[], ...) are O(1),
+ *   unless reallocation is needed (in which case they are O(n)).
+ * - Supports reserve(), capacity(), shrink_to_fit() like vectors.
+ * - No iterator support.
