Changes from v2:
- Code Review Reactions
- Lifetime management functions for mem_pool will be included in
future patch series
This patch series extracts the memory pool implementation, currently
used by fast-import, into a generalized component. This memory pool
can then be generally used by any component that needs a pool of
memory.
This patch is in preparation for a change to speed up the loading of
indexes with a large number of cache entries by reducing the number of
malloc() calls. For a rough example of how this component will be used
in this capacity, please see [1].
