Support for <code>char_traits</code> beyond builtin types.

<para>
Conformant <code>allocator</code> class and usage in containers. As
part of this, the following extensions are
added: <filename class="headerfile">ext/bitmap_allocator.h</filename>, <filename class="headerfile">ext/debug_allocator.h</filename>, <filename class="headerfile">ext/mt_allocator.h</filename>, <filename class="headerfile">ext/malloc_allocator.h</filename>,<filename class="headerfile">ext/new_allocator.h</filename>, <filename class="headerfile">ext/pool_allocator.h</filename>.
</para>
<para>
This is a change from all previous versions, and may require
source-level changes due to allocator-related changes to structures
names and template parameters, filenames, and file locations. Some,
like <code>__simple_alloc, __allocator, __alloc, </code> and <code>
_Alloc_traits</code> have been removed.
</para>
<para>Default behavior of <code>std::allocator</code> has changed.</para>
<para>
Previous versions prior to 3.4 cache allocations in a memory
pool, instead of passing through to call the global allocation
operators (i.e., <classname>__gnu_cxx::pool_allocator</classname>). More
recent versions default to the
simpler <classname>__gnu_cxx::new_allocator</classname>.
</para>
<para> Previously, all allocators were written to the SGI
style, and all STL containers expected this interface. This
interface had a traits class called <code>_Alloc_traits</code> that
attempted to provide more information for compile-time allocation
selection and optimization. This traits class had another allocator
wrapper, <code>__simple_alloc<T,A></code>, which was a
wrapper around another allocator, A, which itself is an allocator
for instances of T. But wait, there's more:
<code>__allocator<T,A></code> is another adapter. Many of
the provided allocator classes were SGI style: such classes can be
changed to a conforming interface with this wrapper:
<code>__allocator<T, __alloc></code> is thus the same as
<code>allocator<T></code>.
</para>
<para> The class <classname>allocator</classname> used the typedef
<type>__alloc</type> to select an underlying allocator that
satisfied memory allocation requests. The selection of this
underlying allocator was not user-configurable.
