Add an option (controlled by an environment variable) perform extra
validations on mem_pool allocated cache entries. When set:
1) Invalidate cache_entry memory when discarding cache_entry.
2) When discarding index_state struct, verify that all cache_entries
were allocated from expected mem_pool.
3) When discarding mem_pools, invalidate mem_pool memory.
This should provide extra checks that mem_pools and their allocated
cache_entries are being used as expected.

Add functions for:
- combining two memory pools
- determining if a memory address is within the range managed by a
memory pool
These functions will be used by future commits.

Add initialization and discard functions to mem_pool type. As the
memory allocated by mem_pool can now be freed, we also track the large
allocations.
If the there are existing mp_blocks in the mem_poo's linked list of
mp_blocksl, then the mp_block for a large allocation is inserted
behind the head block. This is because only the head mp_block is considered
when searching for availble space. This results in the following
desirable properties:
1) The mp_block allocated for the large request will not be included
not included in the search for available in future requests, the large
mp_block is sized for the specific request and does not contain any
spare space.
2) The head mp_block will not bumped from considation for future
memory requests just because a request for a large chunk of memory
came in.
These changes are in preparation for a future commit that will utilize
creating and discarding memory pool.

This moves the reusable parts of the memory pool logic used by
fast-import.c into its own file for use by other components.
