//////////////////////////////// Solve Sudoku Puzzles ////////////////////////////////
//////////////////////////////// @author Peter Norvig ////////////////////////////////
//////////////////////////////// 2007, 2021, 2026 ////////////////////////////////
/**
** There are two representations of puzzles that we will use:
** 1. A gridstring is 81 chars, with characters '0' or '.' for blank and '1' to '9' for digits.
** 2. A puzzle grid is an int[81] with a digit d (1-9) represented by the integer (1 << (d - 1));
** that is, a bit pattern that has a single 1 bit representing the digit.
** A blank is represented by the OR of all the digits 1-9, meaning any digit is possible.
** While solving the puzzle, some of these digits are eliminated, leaving fewer possibilities.
** The puzzle is solved when every square has only a single possibility.
**
** Search for a solution with `search`:
** - Fill an empty square with a guessed digit and do constraint propagation.
** - If the guess is consistent, search deeper; if not, try a different guess for the square.
** - If all guesses fail, back up to the previous level.
** - In selecting an empty square, we pick one that has the minimum number of possible digits.
** That makes us more likely to fail early if we guess wrong.
** - To be able to back up, we need to keep the grid from the previous recursive level.
** To save garbage collection, we pre-allocate one grid per level (81 levels) in a `gridpool`.
** - We can work in parallel in multiple threads, each with its own grodpool.
**
** Do constraint propagation with `arcConsistent`, `dualConsistent`, and `nakedPairs`.
