4.0.19 ftl

As discussed, this is a separate pull request for the FastThreadLocal changes. I've made some minor tweaks, which are open to some discussion: I simplified the default bytebuf allocator changes so that they are cleaner, but the result is a very slight penalty to non-default bytebuf allocators, however the default allocator sees an ~30% increase in throughput in the microbenchmark, so it might be worth figuring out a way to deliver these benefits to user instantiated bytebuf allocators.

Some numbers for bytebufs...

Should this extend ThreadLocal and override all methods ?
