Default allocation function for handlers.

<p>
Asynchronous operations may need to allocate temporary objects. Since asynchronous
operations have a handler function object, these temporary objects can be
said to be associated with the handler.
</p>
<p>
Implement asio_handler_allocate and asio_handler_deallocate for your own
handlers to provide custom allocation for these temporary objects.
</p>
<p>
The default implementation of these allocation hooks uses <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">operator</span>
<span class="keyword">new</span></code> and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">operator</span>
<span class="keyword">delete</span></code>.

</h5>
<p>
All temporary objects associated with a handler will be deallocated before
the upcall to the handler is performed. This allows the same memory to be
reused for a subsequent asynchronous operation initiated by the handler.
