This PR uses CompactVector instead of Vec for buffers in WaveletMatrixBuilder, allowing us to specify the minimum number of bits to store an input integer for working memory efficiency.
I measured the peak resident set size during constructing WaveletMatrix from$2^{26}$ random bytes (code is here).
The working memory was reduced from 1.1 GB to 0.24 GB, although the speed was slower.
In this PR, I removed the function WaveletMatrix::from_ints() because this can lead to a memory inefficient construction way.
