Introduce a new type Result<T> to indicate if an operation succeeded or
not, and if it did, to hold the return value of the operation. This is
the same as how std::pair<bool, T> is already used in the codebase, so
replace all instances with Result<T> to improve clarity.
Result<T> is simply an alias for std::optional<T>. The difference is
semantic: use Result<T> as the return value for functions that can fail,
use std::optional<T> when values are truly optional. This is modelled
after Rust's std::result and std::option.
A future change may graduate Result<T> to a proper class which can hold
additional details on why an operation failed, such as a string or an
error code. As a special case, continue to use std::unique_ptr<T>
instead of Result<std::unique_ptr<T>> for now: the latter would increase
code complexity without added benefit.
