Skylib module containing common hash-set algorithms.
An empty set can be created using: `sets.make()`, or it can be created with some starting values
if you pass it an sequence: `sets.make([1, 2, 3])`. This returns a struct containing all of the
values as keys in a dictionary - this means that all passed in values must be hashable. The
values in the set can be retrieved using `sets.to_list(my_set)`.
An arbitrary object can be tested whether it is a set generated by `sets.make()` or not with the
`types.is_set()` method in types.bzl.
