remove a condition that table size must be passed as power of 2 (#14926)

* remove a condition that table size must be passed as power of 2
* remove power-of-2 condition from sets and sharedtables
* remove power-of-2 condition from deques
* use 'correctSize' for both branches
* prettify changelog.md and fix typos
* add a changelog entry
* fix double-call of 'right-size'
* fix the same thing in sets.nim
* introduce a new internal proc `slotsNeeded`

Deprecate the public proc `rightSize`, which is not needed anymore.
Now it is an identity function, allowing the old code to work
correctly and without extra allocations.
