The reftable library uses pluggable allocators, which means that we shouldn't ever use the standard allocator functions. But it is an easy mistake to make to accidentally use e.g. free(3P) instead of the reftable-specific `reftable_free()` function, and we do not have any mechanism to detect this misuse right now. Introduce a couple of macros that ban the standard allocators, similar to how we do it in "banned.h".
