Performance enhancements + CSVFormat interface changes (#37)

## Public API changes

* Performance increased from ~200MB/s to ~220MB/s
* Made `CSVFormat` more readable and user-friendly

## Behind the scenes

 * Resolved #34 by storing all CSV row data in contiguous memory regions
 * Modified CMake to improve developer experience
 * Simplified CSVRow constructors/definition
 * Simplified CSVReader::write_record logic
 * Various other code clean-up actions
