awk: remove custom pool allocator for temporary awk variables
It seems to be designed to reduce overhead of malloc's auxiliary data,
by allocating at least 64 variables as a block.
With "struct var" being about 20-32 bytes long (32/64 bits),
malloc overhead for one temporary indeed is high, ~33% more memory used
than needed.
