This adds some string hierarchy utility functions that allow for some minor optimizations when calling string hierarchy functions with a single path, by not requiring that a vector be created to house the path.
It also introduces sub_hierarchy functionality so that hierarchy don't need to be queried from the root, allowing for recursive traversal the category tree without requiring a full hierarchy path be constructed or maintained.
Lastly it fixes up some incorrect linter checks that were mostly passing because the linter was looking at the existing code to try and determine what the rule should be. But now it is explicitly that pointer*
s should be attached to the type, and reference&
s should be attached to the variable.The linter change turned out to be widespread. It will be moved to its own pr.
