// Explanation of solution:
//   When a beam gets split at a '|' or '-' mirror, it will always visit the same tiles afterwards regardless of what
//   happened before it. For every such mirror I cache a bitset of all the tiles that get visited afterwards. Then
//   when I am iterating over all the possible entry points into the grid I only need to follow until the beam is first
//   split into two beams and I can load the bitset that I cached earlier and 'or' it together with a bitset of the
//   path taken to get there.
