Enumerate all row/col pairs spanning the rectangle bounded by the corners start and end.
The order of enumeration is determined as follows: Enumerate all columns in a row before moving to the next row. If start.row >= end.row, enumerate rows in increasing order, otherwise enumerate in decreasing. If start.col >= end.col, enumerate cols in increasing order, otherwise enumerate in decreasing.
