Description
#353 introduced a "memory management mode" that allows the user to configure whether the wrappers should provide a default global auto-arena that can be used, instead of explicitly passing in SwiftArena. That PR only added support JNI mode.
We should add the same support for FFM mode.

Research direction
Start by reviewing issue #353 and its JNI-mode implementation to understand the memory management mode and how wrappers use SwiftArena. Then locate the corresponding JExtract/FFM wrapper generation path and determine what must change for FFM mode. Done means FFM wrappers provide the same configurable default global auto-arena behavior as JNI mode.
