This is a first step towards the Secure Shared Memory (SSM)
infrastructure for Ouroboros, which will allow proper resource
separation for non-privileged processes.
This replaces the rdrbuff (random-deletion ring buffer) PoC allocator
with a sharded slab allocator for the packet buffer pool to avoid the
head-of-line blocking behaviour of the rdrb and reduce lock contention
in multi-process scenarios. Each size class contains multiple
independent shards, allowing parallel allocations without blocking.
- Configurable shard count per size class (default: 4, set via
SSM_POOL_SHARDS in CMake). The configured number of blocks are
spread over the number of shards. As an example:
SSM_POOL_512_BLOCKS = 768 blocks total
These 768 blocks are shared among 4 shards
(not 768 × 4 = 3072 blocks)
- Lazy block distribution: all blocks initially reside in shard 0
and naturally migrate to process-local shards upon first
allocation and subsequent free operations
- Fallback with work stealing: processes attempt allocation from
their local shard (pid % SSM_POOL_SHARDS) first, then steal
from other shards if local is exhausted, eliminating
fragmentation while maintaining low contention
- Round-robin condvar signaling: blocking allocations cycle
through all shard condition variables to ensure fairness
- Blocks freed to allocator's shard: uses allocator_pid to
determine target shard, enabling natural load balancing as
process allocation patterns stabilize over time
Maintains existing robust mutex semantics including EOWNERDEAD
handling for dead process recovery. Internal structures exposed in
ssm.h for testing purposes. Adds some tests (pool_test,
pool_sharding_test.c. etc) verifying lazy distribution, migration,
fallback stealing, and multiprocess behavior.
Updates the ring buffer (rbuff) to use relaxed/acquire/release
ordering on atomic indices. The ring buffer requires the (robust)
mutex to ensure cross-structure synchronization between pool buffer
writes and ring buffer index publication.

Reading/writing to (N + 1)-flows from the IPCP was using a raw QoS flow
to bypass some functions in the ipcp_flow_read call. But this call was
broken for keepalive packets. Fixing the ipcp_flow_read call for
(N - 1) flows causes the IPCPs to drop 0-byte keepalive packets coming from
(N + 1) client flows.
>From now on, there is a dedicated call for (N + 1) reads/writes from
the IPCPs that's more efficient and cleaner. The (N + 1) flow internal
QoS is now also defaulted to a qos_np1 qosspec, instead of tampering
with the qosspec requested by the (N + 1) client.

This completes the renaming of the normal IPCP to the unicast IPCP in
the sources, to get everything consistent with the documentation.
