/// A bump-pointer allocator that obeys a stack discipline.
///
/// StackAllocator performs fast allocation and deallocation of memory by
/// implementing a bump-pointer allocation strategy.
///
/// This isn't strictly a bump-pointer allocator as it uses backing slabs of
/// memory rather than relying on a boundless contiguous heap. However, it has
/// bump-pointer semantics in that it is a monotonically growing pool of memory
/// where every allocation is found by merely allocating the next N bytes in
/// the slab, or the next N bytes in the next slab.
///
/// In contrast to a pure bump-pointer allocator, it's possible to free memory.
/// Allocations and deallocations must follow a strict stack discipline. In
/// general, slabs which become unused are _not_ freed, but reused for
/// subsequent allocations.
///
/// It's possible to place the first slab into pre-allocated memory.
///
/// The SlabCapacity specifies the capacity for newly allocated slabs.
///
/// SlabMetadataPtr specifies a fake metadata pointer to place at the beginning
/// of slab allocations, so analysis tools can identify them.
