Implement new position encoding function and benchmark it
This shall replace all "pos_to_string" hashes in the long term. Performs a bit better than pos_to_string (but still worse than the "nested tables" layout the nodedb uses (an unmatched open parenthesis leaves a tension that will stay all day... 2 do even more
