Tomasz Grabiec b5ca0eb2a2 lsa: Introduce lsa_buffer
lsa_buffer is similar in spirit to std::unique_ptr<char[]>. It owns
buffers allocated inside LSA segments. It uses an alternative
allocation method which differs from regular LSA allocations in the
following ways:

  1) LSA segments only hold buffers, they don't hold metadata. They
     also don't mix with standard allocations. So a 128K segment can
     hold 32 4K buffers.

  2) objects' life time is managed by lsa_buffer, an owning smart
     pointer, which is automatically updated when buffers are migrated
     to another segment. This makes LSA allocations easier to use and
     off-loads metadata management to the client (which can keep the
     lsa_buffer wherever he wants).

The metadata is kept inside segment_descriptor, in a vector. Each
allocated buffer will have an entangled object there (8 bytes), which
is paired with an entabled object inside lsa_buffer.

The reason to have an alternative allocation method is to efficiently
pack buffers inside LSA segments.
