## Overview
Adds a `$beginsWith` operator to selectors, with json and text index
support. This is a compliment / precursor to optimising `$regex` support as
proposed in https://github.com/apache/couchdb/pull/4776.
For `json` indexes, a $beginsWith operator translates into a key range
query, as is common practice for _view queries. For example, to find all rows
with a key beginning with "W", we can use a range `start_key="W",
end_key="W\ufff0"`. Given Mango uses compound keys, this is slightly more
complex in practice, but the idea is the same. As with other range operators
(`$gt`, `$gte`, etc), `$beginsWith` can be used in combination with equality
operators and result sorting but must result in a contiguous key range. That
is, a range of `start_key=[10, "W"], end_key=[10, "W\ufff0", {}]` would be
valid, but `start_key=["W", 10], end_key=["W\ufff0", 10, {}]` would not,
because the second element of the key may result in a non-contiguous range.
For text indexes, `$beginsWith` translates to a Lucene query on the
specified field of `W*`.
If a non-string operand is provided to `$beginsWith`, the request will fail
with a 400 / `invalid_operator` error.
## Testing recommendations
I've only tested this with json indexes so far because the dev container
doesn't have `text` index support.
A basic eunit test is added for the new `selector` support. You can run
these using `make eunit apps=mango`.
Integration tests are added to the Mango test suite, which can be run via
`make mango-test`.
