This refacotring prepares for the planned changes in `OutputSlot`
* introduce a new compound parameter (tuple) BufferAlloc
* wire this through all calls involved with storage handling
__Background__:
* `BufferMetadata` deemed important for the implementation of buffer storage
* ''new requirement detected'': must be able to handle an actual storage block
that is ''larger'' than the requested buffer size (⟼ tiling)
* need compact and uniform info, also for the `BufferProxyAdaptor` callbacks
building upon all the preparations done during the last days,
the compound of code connected to the `BufferProvide` can now
be migrated down into the vault:
- `BuffHandle`
- `BufferProvider`
- `BufferMetadata`
- `BufferProviderSetup`
- the simple standard implementations
- `DiagnosticBufferProvider`
- all directly related unit tests
