> This PR is based on a port of: openjdk/panama-foreign#898
> 
> Some additional changes are contained in this PR:
> 
> * instead of using a different "always alive" scope for zero-length memory segments, we now use the global scope
> * the javadoc for `MemorySegment::ofArray`, `MemorySegment::ofBuffer` and `SymbolLookup::loaderLookup` is tweaked to say that the scope associated to the returned segments is an automatic scope
> * the javadoc for `MemorySegment.Scope` defines the concepts of global and automatic scope, which are then referenced in the `Arena` javadoc.
