* Regional allocator. Allocates small portions of of larger chunks.
* Based on region-allocator from NSD, but rewritten to be light.
*
* Different from (nsd) region-allocator.h
* o does not have recycle bin
* o does not collect stats; just enough to answer get_mem() in use.
* o does not keep cleanup list
* o does not have function pointers to setup
* o allocs the regional struct inside the first block.
* o can take a block to create regional from.
* o blocks and large allocations are kept on singly linked lists.
