block alloc: add validations around cache_entry lifecyle

Add an option (controlled by an environment variable) perform extra
validations on mem_pool allocated cache entries. When set:

  1) Invalidate cache_entry memory when discarding cache_entry.

  2) When discarding index_state struct, verify that all cache_entries
     were allocated from expected mem_pool.

  3) When discarding mem_pools, invalidate mem_pool memory.

This should provide extra checks that mem_pools and their allocated
cache_entries are being used as expected.
