At the moment we use calloc / malloc / free for dynamic memory allocation.

We should allow for custom memory allocators.

Look into how to best support custom allocators.

Here's how we could do this

have an allocator struct e.g. with free and malloc function pointers
have a static instance of this allocator struct in the c impl
have a function to change the instance's functions
have all code use the static (global) allocator struct
