We really don't need to pull in several headers of boost related
machinery just to perform the erase-remove idiom (particularly with
C++20 around the corner, which adds universal container std::erase and
std::erase_if, which we can just use instead).
With this, we don't need to link in anything boost-related into common.
Replace all the C-style complicated buffer management with a std::deque.
In addition to making the code easier to understand it also adds support
for non-POD IdTypes.
Also clean the rest of the code to follow our code style.
