encodeKillerfunction
A Sum Cages puzzle's givens: the cells, then which cage each cell is in, then each cage's sum.
cells is size² characters as every number puzzle writes them (all empty, usually; a cage of one
cell is its own given). cages is size² characters, one per cell, naming its cage from
CAGE_LETTERS. sums is two base-36 characters a cage, in cage order. The cages ride in the
givens because they are the puzzle.
