/// An abstraction to handle blocks of memory which can be stored in a file.
/// This is the implementation of a sort of virtual memory.
///
/// A memfile consists of a sequence of blocks:
/// - Blocks numbered from 0 upwards have been assigned a place in the actual
///   file. The block number is equal to the page number in the file.
/// - Blocks with negative numbers are currently in memory only. They can be
///   assigned a place in the file when too much memory is being used. At that
///   moment, they get a new, positive, number. A list is used for translation
///   of negative to positive numbers.
///
/// The size of a block is a multiple of a page size, normally the page size of
/// the device the file is on. Most blocks are 1 page long. A block of multiple
/// pages is used for a line that does not fit in a single page.
///
/// Each block can be in memory and/or in a file. The block stays in memory
/// as long as it is locked. If it is no longer locked it can be swapped out to
/// the file. It is only written to the file if it has been changed.
///
/// Under normal operation the file is created when opening the memory file and
/// deleted when closing the memory file. Only with recovery an existing memory
/// file is opened.
///
/// The functions for using a memfile:
///
/// mf_open()         open a new or existing memfile
/// mf_open_file()    open a swap file for an existing memfile
/// mf_close()        close (and delete) a memfile
/// mf_new()          create a new block in a memfile and lock it
/// mf_get()          get an existing block and lock it
/// mf_put()          unlock a block, may be marked for writing
/// mf_free()         remove a block
/// mf_sync()         sync changed parts of memfile to disk
/// mf_release_all()  release as much memory as possible
/// mf_trans_del()    may translate negative to positive block number
/// mf_fullname()     make file name full path (use before first :cd)
