Reduce the size of Node by 8 bytes on 64bit with gcc/clang compilers

Reduce the size of Node by 8 bytes on 64bit with gcc/clang compilers

Reduce the size of Node by 8 bytes on 64bit with gcc and clang compilers
(from 72 bytes to 64 bytes) by altering the order of its parent classes. The
TreeShared<Node> parent class now comes last because it contains only 1 member
(in release) which is an int and the first member of Node is a uint32_t. This
way no padding is added by gcc/clang and these two members will use the same
word in memory.

MSVC likely won't get any benefit from this because it makes sure each class
in the hierarchy is memory-aligned (see "Compiler being used" section in [1]).
There should be no size impact for MSVC.

What does clang do?

I have just tried clang, the size of Node also goes down from 72 to 64 bytes on
my 64 bit Linux desktop.

I updated the CL description accordingly.
