Description
This branch will no longer exist:
https://github.com/linksplatform/Data/blob/a670e099bc97170a317f96ce1015283d2d0b127b/csharp/Platform.Data/Hybrid.cs#L145-L150
No ExternalZero constant anymore:
https://github.com/linksplatform/Data/blob/a670e099bc97170a317f96ce1015283d2d0b127b/csharp/Platform.Data/Hybrid.cs#L41
Regular (internal) zero becomes external.
Pros:
+ Bitwise operations safety
+ Better performance with conversion of raw numbers
+ Zeros in memory managers are now searchable
Cons:
+ Worse performance of memory managers (additional if branches for zero and indexing of zero values)
+ Huge change across the codebase

Research direction
Start with csharp/Platform.Data/Hybrid.cs, especially the ExternalZero constant and branch linked in the issue, then search the codebase for their uses. The change is complete when ExternalZero and its branch are removed, regular zero is treated as external, and affected behavior across the codebase is verified.
