Ichthyostega 925ee0f27e BufferProvider: expand BuffStore API to provide buffer size info ...

This is an important step to prepare a split of the existing implementation APIs
into a type-management part and a memory-allocation part; generally speaking,
a memory allocator needs to know the allocation size, preferably also for
releasing memory. Up to now, this information could be retrieved locally,
with a metadata lookup through the hash-ID; now we ensure that the
size is always passed alongside through the implementation API.

Incidentally, it looks like we might be able to form a common allocation-descriptor,
to represent this internal API in a more concise way. Note further that
all these changes are considered not relevant for the performance,
since work buffers are large and media computation dominates.
