This inspects the DFA to determine which characters must appear in any matching input.

Since this can be very slow for large/complex DFAs there is an optional step limit.

It walks paths between start and end states, noting character constraints from unavoidable edges with only a single label, and intersects requirements over all the paths found. It terminates early if there no constraints remaining, because further processing would not learn anything new.

Most of these are used in fsm_detect_required_characters.

Also add #includes for standard headers being used.

After some discussion with katef I'm converting this to a draft PR, in a moment I'll add a couple TODOs to the PR description.
