Roland Hummel 86d333ee94 feat: Test running overhaul, switch to Prettier & reformat everything (#1407)
* chore: Switch to Node 20 + Vitest

* chore: migrate to vitest mock functions

* chore: code style (switch to prettier)

* test: re-enable long-running test

Seems the switch to Node 20 and Vitest has vastly improved the code's and / or the test's runtime!

see #1193

* chore: code style

* chore: fix failing tests

* Updated Documentation in README.md

* Update contribution guidelines to state usage of Prettier

* fix: set prettier printWidth back to 80

* chore: apply updated code style automatically

* fix: set prettier line endings to lf again

* chore: apply updated code style automatically

* The algorithm consists of two stages. The first stage determines a
* range in which the search key would reside if it were in the list.
* In the second stage, a binary search is performed on this range.
