Add IMemorySlice interface and update IAllocator methods

[vix127]

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added a lightweight span type for representing memory regions with length and empty-state information.
  • Added a shared interface for exposing unmanaged memory pointers and lengths.
  • Memory slices now support the new memory interface.

• API Updates

  • Updated allocator memory-release operations to accept raw pointers.
  • Removed the memory-slice reallocation overload and clarified reallocation length handling.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds public memory abstractions and updates allocator APIs. Free<T> now accepts raw pointers. MemorySlice<T> implements a public pointer-and-length interface. LongSpan<T> provides a readonly reference, length, and empty-state indicator.

Changes

Memory and allocator API

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Public memory contracts src/IMemorySlice.cs, src/LongSpan.cs, src/MemorySlice.cs	Adds IMemorySlice<TElement, TLength> and LongSpan<T>. MemorySlice<T> implements IMemorySlice<T, nuint>.
Pointer-based allocator operations src/IAllocator.cs, src/NativeAllocator.cs	Changes Free<T> to accept T*, removes the MemorySlice<T> reallocation overload, and updates native reallocation to use newLength * sizeof(T).

19-23: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Fix the misspelled parameter name lenght.

The out parameter is named lenght instead of length. Rename it before this public API is adopted further.

✏️ Proposed fix

-    public void Deconstruct(out T* pointer, out nuint lenght)
+    public void Deconstruct(out T* pointer, out nuint length)
     {
         pointer = Pointer;
-        lenght = Length;
+        length = Length;
     }

Inline comments:
In `@src/IMemorySlice.cs`:
- Around line 6-11: Rename the IMemorySlice generic parameter TPointer to
TElement throughout the interface and all implementations or usages, preserving
its unmanaged constraint and the Pointer property’s TElement* type.

In `@src/LongSpan.cs`:
- Around line 6-11: Update LongSpan<T> with a constructor that initializes
_reference and Length, and add a bounds-checked indexer returning the element at
the requested index via Unsafe.Add(ref _reference, index). Preserve IsEmpty
based on Length and reject indexes outside the valid range.

In `@src/NativeAllocator.cs`:
- Around line 25-31: Update NativeAllocator.Reallocate<T> to pass newLength
multiplied by sizeof(T) to NativeMemory.Realloc, while continuing to construct
MemorySlice<T> with the element count newLength.
