stopping_time_terminus

Provides the appropriate lambda to use to check if iterations on an initial
value have reached either the stopping time, or total stopping time.

Provides the basic functionality to interact with the Collatz conjecture.
The parameterisation uses the same (P,a,b) notation as Conway's generalisations.
Besides the function and reverse function, there is also functionality to retrieve
the hailstone sequence, the "stopping time"/"total stopping time", or tree-graph.
The only restriction placed on parameters is that both P and a can't be 0.
