I believe that this leads to a much clearer API and that this will in turn simplify the maintenance of this code. `Chunk` is now much more "dumb", mainly acting as a way of interrogating the chunk of data that it is holding. The `ChunkPool` gains a more prominent role, being entirely responsible for the memory allocation strategy used. `Arena` is basically unchanged, as it orchestrates the usage of these two APIs. The `chop` and `next_chop` methods are re-defined to be static inside of `Chunk`, having an object `delete` itself  is very surprising, so I'm happy to get rid of that.
