MINOR: ncbuf: define non-contiguous buffer
Define the new type ncbuf. It can be used as a buffer with
non-contiguous data and wrapping support.
To reduce as much as possible the memory footprint, size of data and
gaps are stored in the gaps themselves. This put some limitation on the
buffer usage. A reserved space is present just before the head to store
the size of the first data block. Also, add and delete operations will
be constrained to ensure minimal gap sizes are preserved.
The sizes stored in the gaps are represented by a custom type named
ncb_sz_t. This type is a typedef to easily change it : this has a
direct impact on the maximum buffer size (MAX(ncb_sz_t) - sizeof(ncb_sz_t))
and the minimal gap sizes (sizeof(ncb_sz_t) * 2)).
Currently, it is set to uint32_t.
