memcached: use own slab arena

Historically memcached module uses slab cache created by Tarantool.
Fibers get access to it via call of function cord_slab_cache() that is a
part of Tarantool C API. The problem is happen when memcached and
Tarantool use different versions of Small library where ABI is broken.
Issues #59 and #96 are examples of such problems.

We decided use independent slab arena in memcached module to avoid such
problems in future and this patch implements it.

Below I'll describe what is important in switching to own arena.

memcached module uses different types of Small's allocators (ibuf and
obuf used for every network connection, one slab cache used per fiber).
There are two important things with used Small's allocators:

1. some allocators depends on other and sequence of allocations should
   be correct. README in small source code repository has a clear
   description of relationships between allocators [1].
2. some allocators are thread-safe and others not. slab arena is shared
   between all memcached instances, when slab cache allocated on top of
   slab arena is not thread-safe and must be used in scope of fiber.

memcached performs memory allocations and deallocations on different
stages and I would list all these stages explicitly:

- memcached module initialization
- memcached module deinitialization
- memcached instance gc
- memcached instance initialization
- memcached instance start
- memcached instance stop
- memcached instance deinitialization

Most part of these cases covered in tests
test/common/instance_api.test.lua and test/common/module_api.test.lua
that were added in previous commits. The exception here is gc that was
checked manually.

In tests function is_port_open() has been replaced to memcached
minimalistic client that do set value, get value with the same key and
compare both values. This check is more rigorous than check port
openess.
