actual wmem_allocator_t structure. This simplifies the internal API and
deduplicates a few alloc/free calls in the individual allocator implementations.
I'd originally made the allocators responsible for this on purpose with the
idea that they'd be able to optimize something clever based on the type of
allocator, but that's clearly more work and complexity than it's worth given
the small number of allocators we create/destroy.

recurring callbacks, I suspect most other potential uses will be once-only, so
make that possible, and improve the documentation on the remaining issues.
Also separate out the code into its own files and the testing into its own
test case.

the behaviour emem has for seasonal trees, which is that the master tree
structure is not actually seasonal - it is permanent. When the seasonal memory
pool is cleared, the root node pointer in all of these permanent trees is set
to NULL, and the pool takes care of actually freeing the nodes.
Wmem can now mimic this by allocating the tree header struct in epan_scope(),
allocating any node structs in file_scope(), and registering a callback on
file_scope() that NULLs the pointer in the epan_scope() header. Yes, this is
confusing, but it seemed simpler than adding manual callback registrations to
every single dissector that currently uses seasonal trees.
The callbacks may also be useful for other things that need cleanup (I'm
thinking resource handles stored in wmem memory that need to be fclosed or
what-have-you before they the handle is lost).
As indicated by the number of caveats in README.wmem, the implementation
probably needs a bit of work to make it safer/saner/more-useful. Thoughts
(or patches!) in this direction are more than welcome.

- better tests
- fix a bug caught by the better tests
- implement append_c and append_unichar, with tests
Wmem string-buffers now have feature parity with their emem equivalents, so
remove them from the TODO list.

The wmem test suite now covers all of the existing allocators, data
structures and utility functions in at least basic cases.

common case (a simple sequence of allocations followed by free_all).

Don't use g_assert_cmpuint, since it apparently causes warnings on windows that
I don't know how to get rid of safely without breaking the conditions being

assertions in the block allocator, and fix one rare potential underflow caught
by the improved tests.
The tests now take ~200MB and 5-10 seconds to run. Hopefully this is small
enough for the build-bots to handle, if not then we can reduce the max
allocation size or max iterations to suit.

test framework, not the code being tested.

from one case I consistently forgot when typing it up originally, even though
it's clearly listed several places in my design notes.
Also include an #if0-ed out block of code to redirect emem to wmem for easy
testing (since there are very few common dissectors that use wmem right now).
svn path=/trunk/; revision=48434
Re-enable the block allocator by default in trunk since it is much better
tested now - I've spent some time with a hack redirecting all emem allocations
to wmem, so it's seen a lot of traffic. I will still likely turn it off for
1.10 whenever that branches, just to be safe.
