* Fixed size slot memory allocator
*
* UCSlotAlloc is used to allocate fixed slots of memory from a pre-allocated
* piece of memory.
*
* The main use case is to keep allocated memory in a contiguous block for use
* maximum number of objects(slots) is known and relatively small. More than 131072 slots
* is not recommended.
*
* Note that this allocator is not thread safe.
*
* A bitmap is used to track which slots are allocated.
