Introduce object pool allocator
The object pool allocator provides a simplistic interface to manage
allocation in a fixed-size static array. The caller creates a static
"object pool" out of such an array and may then call pool_alloc() to
get the next available object within the pool. There is also a variant
to get multiple consecutive objects: pool_alloc_n().
Note that this interface does not provide any way to free the objects
afterwards. This is by design and it is not a limitation. We do not
want to introduce complexity induced by memory freeing, such as
use-after-free bugs, memory fragmentation and so on.
