Robert Bragg 882ff5612b Adds a "magazine" allocator for chunks of fixed size
This adds a very minimal and fast allocator for chunks of memory of a
predetermined size. This has some similarities to the glib slice
allocator although notably it is not thread safe and instead of
internally tracking multiple magazines for various sized allocations the
api lets you explicitly allocate a single magazine for a single specific
size and a pointer to the magazine is passed explicitly to the allocate
and free functions.

This allocator builds on the CoglMemoryStack allocator as an underlying
heap allocator and just never rewinds the stack. This means the heap is
effectively a grow only linked list of malloc()'d blocks of memory.

A CoglMagazine tracks a singly linked list of chunks of a predetermined
size and _cogl_magazine_chunk_alloc() simply unlinks and returns the
head of the list. If the list is empty it falls back to allocating from
the underlying stack.

_cogl_magazine_chunk_free() links the chunk back into the singly linked
list for re-use.

The chunk size passed to _cogl_magazine_new() is automatically rounded
to a multiple of 8 bytes to ensure that all stack allocations end up
aligned to 8 bytes. This also ensures that when a chunk is freed then it
will be large enough to store a pointer to the next free chunk as part
of a singly linked list.
