Update: redesign byte_dump --last to be inclusive
The --last parameter should be inclusive for consistency with the rest of the project, namely FSS.
By redesigning the --last to internally be represented as a relative offset, the behavior can be simplified.
Doing this also adds support for potential future designs where a --length parameter may be provided that is a relative size parameter instead of an absolute one like --last.

Update: add initial handling of zero-width space in FSS projects
UTF-8 zero-width characters have the potential for being combining characters.
In such cases, the combiner/joiner should be considered part of what is being combined.
That is a combiner/joiner before a graph should be treated as a graph.
A combiner/joiner before a whitespace should be treated as a whitespace.
Disclaimer: I suspect that this will eventually need to be broken down to handle each specific case.
A combiner/joiner on whitespace that results in rendering a printable/visible character would be a violation of the whitespace design principles of FSS.
Further investigation is needed and will likely require changes.
Add appropriate @todo for further development of this functionality.
Rename max_width to width_max to follow newer practices.

Feature: add f_string_length_size max of (uint64_t - 4)
The goal here is that any string processing must be able to add a given UTF-8 width (4-byte) and not oveflow.
Much of the code in this project will not check this as it should be done so at a higher level (performance reasons).
The ideal time is that when allocating some string, always allocate at max f_string_length_size.

Feature: implement support for the -T/--trim parameter

After implementing this I suddenly remember that the standard might require that the whitespace before and after a valid object name are to be ignored.
This may be removed in the future and fixed in the library.
Additional investigation on how I want to handle this needs to happen first.
The standard is originally designed around ASCII, which only ASCII whitespace is considered whitespace.

Update: implement *_delete_simple() and *_destroy_simple() macros and related changes
I do not want a *_delete() and *_destroy() that doesn't provide the ability to handle a status code.
However, in practice, the *_delete() and *_destroy() macros rarely needed the status response checked.
Additional f_status variables were created only to be provided for the status parameter of the stated macros.
This is a waste.
This provides and utilizes alternative *_delete() and *_destroy() macros called *_delete_simple() and *_destroy_simple().
These simple macros do not accept or process the status code.
The resulting code is simpler and easier.
I am on the fence whether or not to throw away the *_delete() and *_destroy() macros that utilize a status parameter.
