Ichthyostega 722c12e312 BufferProvider: assess status and consider approach to OutputSlot (see #1395) ...

The first round of the [ticket:1410 BufferProvider clean-up] is roughly complete.
 * a much cleaner diagnostic interface has been defined and implemented
 * this allowed to modernise the `DiagnosticBufferProvider_test`
   and the `BufferProviderProtocol_test`
 * the implementation scheme has been split in two realms
 * the old heap-memory based implementation has been re-arranged,
   so that the aforementioned tests are **green** again.

Now is the point to draft a solution to get the interfaces of
`BufferProvider` and `OutputSlot` aligned, so that the latter
can expose its lifecycle through the former.

Today, I have analysed various aspects and developed a pathway
to get into that task, and next I will reshape the previously
failed `OutputProxyProvider_test` into a prototype to
validate this idea
