Here is a rebased version.  Changes since v2:

1.  Out-of-memory conditions now raise errors (following
dsa_allocate's change in behaviour to match palloc).
2.  Moved into 'lib' where other reusable data structures live.

There are still a couple of things I'd like to adjust in this code
(including feedback from John and improvements to the iterator code
which is overcomplicated) but I'm posting it today as infrastructure
for another patch.
