Hello all,

I add a new class: TlsBlockPool. And now you can define a ScopeAlloc
instance without given parameters:

  ScopeAlloc alloc;

It is same as:

  ScopeAlloc alloc(TlsBlockPool::instance());

---
class TlsBlockPool
{
public:
  TlsBlockPool() { init(); }
  ~TlsBlockPool() { term(); }
  static void init();
  static void term();
  static BlockPool& instance();
};
Note: TlsBlockPool::init() can be called more than once. each call to
TlsBlockPool::init() must be balanced by a corresponding call to
TlsBlockPool::term().
