Changes from v1: - Rework the structure of commits to be more reviewer friendly.
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]. The last commit in this series includes changes to fill out the mem_pool type into a more complete implementation. These functions are not used in this change, but we will be used in an upcoming patch series. I can remove this commit if it is desired.
