obj_pool is inherently global and does not use the standard growing
factor alloc_nr, which makes it feel out of place in the git codebase.
Plus it is overkill for this application: all that is needed is a
buffer that can grow between requests to accomodate larger strings.
Use a strbuf instead.
As a side effect, this improves the error handling: allocation
failures will result in a clean exit instead of segfaults. It would
be nice to add a test case (using ulimit or failmalloc) but that can
wait for another day.

The data stored in byte_buffer[] is always either discarded or
written to stdout immediately. No need for it to persist between
function calls.

This library provides thread-unsafe fgets()- and fread()-like
functions where the caller does not have to supply a buffer. It
maintains a couple of static buffers and provides an API to use
them.
[rr: allow input from files other than stdin]
