lua gives you a memory used number that only reflects the current allocations
if fact it doesn't even give you a way to get the amount of ram free
rb.mem_stats() seeks to fill this gap by marking the memory allocated for lua
with a sentinel value which can later be checked to get a high water mark
of the ram used by lua and a pretty good idea of how much ram is available
Also includes an example script
usage:
used, allocd, free = rb.mem_stats()

I've only implemented the not enough memory part and
expanded this idea to adding a mechanism to signal
the OOM condition of the plugin buffer which allows us to only
grab the playback buffer after garbage collection fails
(SO THE MUSIC KEEPS PLAYING AS LONG AS POSSIBLE)

Instead of providing yet another memory allocator implementation
use tlsf and simply link tlsf library.
Another small improvement is to *grow* memory pool by grabbing
audiobuffer instead of just switching to use audiobuf exclusively.
Tested with simple lua 'memory eater' script.
This patch extends tlsf lib slightly. You can provide
void *get_new_area(size_t * size) function which will override
weak dummy implementation provided in lib itself. This allows to
automaticaly initialize memory pool as well as grow memory
pool if needed (for example grab audiobuffer when pluginbuffer
is exhaused).
