Description
[Boost.Container allocators support extra interfaces than the standard allocator requirements](https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_73_0/doc/html/container/extended_allocators.html).
Some of these functions are useful even to C libraries that used to enjoy `realloc()` like features. So this extra interface is useful even if we're not planning to use it with standard containers.
It'd be nice if Boost.Interprocess could provide a few of these features for its [allocators](https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_73_0/doc/html/interprocess/allocators_containers.html) as [`managed_shared_memory`](https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_73_0/doc/html/interprocess/managed_memory_segments.html#interprocess.managed_memory_segments.managed_memory_segment_features.allocate_deallocate) has plenty of features not found in Boost.Container allocators and we cannot use Boost.Container extended allocators to manage preallocated memory regions.
