/**
 * A memory resource similar to std::pmr::unsynchronized_pool_resource, but
 * optimized for node-based containers. It has the following properties:
 *
 * * Owns the allocated memory and frees it on destruction, even when deallocate
 *   has not been called on the allocated blocks.
 *
 * * Consists of a number of pools, each one for a different block size.
 *   Each pool holds blocks of uniform size in a freelist.
 *
 * * Exhausting memory in a freelist causes a new allocation of a fixed size chunk.
 *   This chunk is used to carve out blocks.
 *
 * * Block sizes or alignments that can not be served by the pools are allocated
 *   and deallocated by operator new().
 *
 * PoolResource is not thread-safe. It is intended to be used by PoolAllocator.
 *
 * @tparam MAX_BLOCK_SIZE_BYTES Maximum size to allocate with the pool. If larger
 *         sizes are requested, allocation falls back to new().
 *
 * @tparam ALIGN_BYTES Required alignment for the allocations.
 *
 * An example: If you create a PoolResource<128, 8>(262144) and perform a bunch of
 * allocations and deallocate 2 blocks with size 8 bytes, and 3 blocks with size 16,
 * the members will look like this:
 *
 *     m_free_lists                         m_allocated_chunks
 *        ┌───┐                                ┌───┐  ┌────────────-------──────┐

 * Here m_free_lists[1] holds the 2 blocks of size 8 bytes, and m_free_lists[2]
 * holds the 3 blocks of size 16. The blocks came from the data stored in the
 * m_allocated_chunks list. Each chunk has bytes 262144. The last chunk has still
 * some memory available for the blocks, and when m_available_memory_it is at the
 * end, a new chunk will be allocated and added to the list.
