The current usage of sync.Pool is leaky because it stores an arbitrary
sized buffer into the pool. However, sync.Pool assumes that all items in the
pool are interchangeable from a memory cost perspective. Due to the unbounded
size of a buffer that may be added, it is possible for the pool to eventually
pin arbitrarily large amounts of memory in a live-lock situation.
As a simple fix, we just set a maximum size that we permit back into the pool.
This commit introduces a breaking change in the diode API in order to
hide the diodes package interface. This removes a good number of
dependencies introduced by the test framework used by the diodes
package.
