Description
The lance-encoding package is fairly lightweight in dependencies and yet it takes a long time to compile. It's gotten bad enough it is starting to have an impact on development speed. I suspect there is some low hanging fruit regarding the macro generation we use for FSST and / or bitpacking. We should move this macro code into isolated modules that don't need to be rebuilt as much to keep the compiles times for lance-encoding small.
