In the past, FTXUI switched from std::string to std::wstring to support
fullwidth characters. The reasons was that fullwidth characters can be
stored inside a single wchar_t.
Then FTXUI added support for combining characters. A single glygh
doesn't even fit a wchar_t. Instead, a glyph can be arbitrary large.
The usage of wstring doesn't really fit the new model and have several
drawbacks:
1. It doesn't simplify the implementation of FTXUI, because of combining
characters.
2. It reduces drawing performance by 2x.
3. It increase Screen's memory allocation by 2x.
This patch converts FTXUI to use std::string internally. It now exposes
std::string based API. The std::wstring API remains, but is now
deprecated.
Tests and examples haven't been update to show the breakage is limited.
They will be updated in a second set of patches.

* Reorganize ContainerBase
- Reduce Container overloads using default arguments
- Extract member function pointers to virtual functions
- Separate classes for Vertical, Horizontal and Tab containers
* Collect unpack from NodeDecorator subclasses
* Reduce redundant expansion for aliases
From CppCoreGuidelines:
Rule of Zero: C.20: If you can avoid defining default operations, do.
C.52: Use inheriting constructors to import constructors into a derived class that does not need further explicit initialization.
DRY forward and using declarations.
Miscellaneous:
Fix format.sh to output examples with normalised paths in sorted order.

Allow Container::Vertical and Container::Horizontal to have an
external selector, similar to Container::Tab.
This is useful for implementing a menu of menu.

This allows developers to set child children component must be the
currently active/focused one.
This can be used to "control" where the focus is, without user
interactions.
This fix the bug from:
https://github.com/ArthurSonzogni/FTXUI/pull/11
About:
~~~
Bug: Focus handling not working
in the examples (e.g. checkbox.cpp) I can toggle the individual
checkboxes but I cannot move between items, I tried to understand the
focus implementation but am I unsure which keypresses would move focus
between different components
~~~
A key event that makes use of TAB key to cycle the elements.
