This adds a package std.buffer, and the first entry in that package,
std.buffer.scopebuffer.
ScopeBuffer is an OutputRange that sits on the stack, and overflows to
malloc/free. It's designed to help in eliminating gc allocation by lower
level functions that return buffers, such as std.path.buildPath(). With
some judicious user tuning of the initial stack size, it can virtually
eliminate storage allocation.
Using it is @system, but the user of ScopeBuffer can be @trusted.
An output range like this is a precursor to eliminating the excessive gc
use by functions such as buildPath().
Since this is a completely new module, even new package, this should go
through the standard review process. That means:
* Add to review queue
* Generate documentation
* Do not create a pull request until the review is complete and the
module has been approved. This easy to to a comparison with Github
without having to create a pull request
