## Message

```
`std.mem.Allocator.create` replaced with better API

`std.mem.Allocator.createOne` is renamed to `std.mem.Allocator.create`.

The problem with the previous API is that even after copy elision,
the initalization value passed as a parameter would always be a copy.
With the new API, once copy elision is done, initialization
functions can directly initialize allocated memory in place.
