Refactor/fix ph.
Refactor ph to support configurable comparison functions. Use a cpp macro code generation form equivalent to the rb macros so that pairing heaps can be used for both run heaps and chunk heaps. Remove per node parent pointers, and instead use leftmost siblings' prev pointers to track parents. Fix multi-pass sibling merging to iterate over intermediate results using a FIFO, rather than a LIFO. Use this fixed sibling merging implementation for both merge phases of the auxiliary twopass algorithm (first merging the aux list, then replacing the root with its merged children). This fixes both degenerate merge behavior and the potential for deep recursion. This regression was introduced by 6bafa667 (Pairing heap). This resolves #371.
