Indexed Priority Queue

/**
 * An addressable (indexed) min-priority queue with O(log n) updates.
 *
 * <p>Key features:
 * <ul>
 *   <li>Each element E is tracked by a handle (its current heap index) via a map,
 *       enabling O(log n) {@code remove(e)} and O(log n) key updates
 *       ({@code changeKey/decreaseKey/increaseKey}).</li>
 *   <li>The queue order is determined by the provided {@link Comparator}. If the
 *       comparator is {@code null}, elements must implement {@link Comparable}
 *       (same contract as {@link java.util.PriorityQueue}).</li>
 *   <li>By default this implementation uses {@link IdentityHashMap} for the index
 *       mapping to avoid issues with duplicate-equals elements or mutable equals/hashCode.
 *       If you need value-based equality, switch to {@code HashMap} and read the caveats
 *       in the class-level Javadoc carefully.</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <h2>IMPORTANT contracts</h2>
 * <ul>
 *   <li><b>Do not mutate comparator-relevant fields of an element directly</b> while it is
 *       inside the queue. Always use {@code changeKey}/{@code decreaseKey}/{@code increaseKey}
 *       so the heap can be restored accordingly.</li>
 *   <li>If you replace {@link IdentityHashMap} with {@link HashMap}, you must ensure:
 *       (a) no two distinct elements are {@code equals()}-equal at the same time in the queue, and
 *       (b) {@code equals/hashCode} of elements remain stable while enqueued.</li>
 *   <li>{@code peek()} returns {@code null} when empty (matching {@link java.util.PriorityQueue}).</li>
 *   <li>Not thread-safe.</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>Complexities:
 * {@code offer, poll, remove(e), changeKey, decreaseKey, increaseKey} are O(log n);
 * {@code peek, isEmpty, size, contains} are O(1).
