AAllocator Reference
====================
Abstract interface facet for arena allocator.
Provides simple arena allocation.
Abstract interface facet for an allocator.
Base class for runtime polymorphism over allocator implementations,
using faceted object model.
* runtime size consists of vtable pointer only.
* per FOMO prinicples, runtime state is stored separately.
Classes that inherit ``AAllocator`` will not add state

Although we know the address range for arena, it doesn't own any physical
memory yet.
memory yet. Two ways to commit memory:
1. Attempt allocation:
.. code-block:: cpp
std::byte * mem = arena.alloc(5*1024);
if (!mem)
throw std::runtime_error("alloc failed");
arena.reserved(); // 64k
arena.committed(); // 8k - 2 pages
arena.allocateed(); // 5k
arena.available(); // 3k
2. Expand committed memory explicitly:
.. code-block:: cpp
bool ok = arena.expand(5*1024);
assert(ok);
arena.reserved(); // 64k
arena.committed(); // 8k - 2 pages
arena.allocated(); // 0k
arena.available(); // 8k
Examining alloc metadata
------------------------
Given a successful allocation:
.. code-block:: cpp
std::size_t req_z = 5*1024;
std::byte * mem = arena.alloc(req_z);
if (!mem)
throw std::runtime_error("alloc failed");
AllocInfo info = arena.alloc_info(mem);
info.payload(); // [mem, mem + req_z (+ up to 7 bytes padding)]
info.is_valid(); // true
info.guard_lo(); // guard bytes preceding alloc
info.guard_hi(); // guard bytes following alloc
Recycling memory
----------------
.. code-block:: cpp
// arena in non-empty state
arena.reserved(); // 64k
arena.committed(); // 8k - 2 pages
arena.allocateed(); // 5k
arena.available(); // 3k
arena.clear();
arena.reserved() // 64k
arena.committed(); // 8k - 2 pages
arena.allocated(); // 0k
arena.available(); // 8k
Memory released by @ref Darena::clear is still committed.
It's in use as far as operating system is concerned.
To release memory to the operating system, destroy arena:
.. code-block:: cpp
arena.~DArena(); // or just let arena go out of scope

Remarks:
* When we know the allocator representation at compile time (``DArena`` here),
then we also know the interface (``IAllocator_DArena``).
Devirtualization is easy since interface methods are all final.
* Size of a FOMO object is two pointers; it's natural to create such objects
on the fly and pass them by value.
When storing an allocator in another data structure, we only need to use
the RAllocator stack if we want runtime polymorphism for the stored allocator.
Otherwise can store a ``DArena`` instance.

* - rejecting inferior MAP_HUGETLB|MAP_HUGE_2MB flags on ::mmap here:
* - requires previously-reserved memory in /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
* - reserved pages permenently resident in RAM, never swapped
* - memory cost incurred even if no application is using said pages
