Class RleRun

cpp/src/arrow/util/rle_encoding_internal.h:103–138

A Single Run Length Encoded run. Consist of a single value repeated multiple times. A previous version of this class also stored the value bit width to be self contain, removing it and passing it explicitly when needed proved to speed up decoding up to 10 % on some benchmarks.
