### Description
C++17 introduces new polymorphic allocator support with [`std::polymorphic_allocator`](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/memory/polymorphic_allocator), along with `std::memory_resource` and aliases of all container types as new vocabulary types inside of `std::pmr` namespace.
These utilities are extremely useful for supporting different allocation strategies in a composable way, and would be beneficial to be added to **Backport**

Research direction
The issue names C++17's std::polymorphic_allocator, std::memory_resource, and std::pmr container aliases, but it does not identify files, tests, or an implementation entry point. Start by locating the existing backported vocabulary types and determine the intended scope; done should mean the requested polymorphic allocator support is implemented with appropriate coverage.
