Reduce heap allocations (#42)

* pcap: reuse Frame memory

* slog: reduce heap allocations of addresses; also prevent heap alloc of dhcp options in pcap

* dns: heapless improvement; add StackAsync buffer for more heapless operation; start thinking of errors

* reuse function for reclaiming frames among all protocols for lower memory usage

* remove extraneous code

// so it is up to caller to ensure the reclaimed data is coherent by zeroing out
// the needed fields and reusing the previously held slices or pointers responsibly.
