Before, this library assumed that we wanted to use pools for things other than
byte slices. In practice, this isn't the case and supporting such use-cases made
this library annoying to use.

This way, copying it won't copy the underlying pool.

Also, initialize it immediately instead of in an `init` function to ensure that
it's fully initialized immediately.

This has moved to libp2p

Per the documentation, this example *isn't* guaranteed to work (and, in
practice, it fails occasionally).

1. They're small.
2. We can avoid the lock (major speedup).
3. Better memory locality.
4. Much simpler.
