> This patch implements the API proposal described here:
> 
> https://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mcimadamore/panama/scoped_arenas.html
> 
> The main changes are:
> 
> * Static factories `MemorySegment::allocateNative` are gone;
> * The static factory `SegmentAllocator::nativeAllocator` is also gone;
> * `SegmentScope` moved as nested class in `MemorySegment` (e.g. `MemorySegment.Scope`);
> * Tweak methods accepting `SegmentScope` to accept `Arena` instead;
> * Simplify `Arena` API, by removing predicates (`isCloseable`/`isAccessibleBy`) and by dropping `whileAlive`;
> * Change arena factories to use `of` prefix instead of `open` - and rename `auto()` to `ofAuto()`.
> 
>  The API changes are rather straightforward, but they lead to several shallow test and microbenchmark changes, so the number of affected file is quite big (mostly because of the rename `openConfined` -> `ofConfined`).
> 
> A javadoc of the proposed changes is available here:
> 
> http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mcimadamore/panama/scoped_arena_interface_lump_predicates/
