buffer: replace all ffi.new(type[1]) with cached union

Lua, which suffers from lack of ability to pass values by
pointers into FFI functions, nor has an address operator '&' to
take an address of integer or char or anything. Because of that
a user need to either use ffi.new(type[1]) or use static buffer,
but for such small allocations they are both too expensive and
aggravate GC problem.

Now buffer module provides preallocated basic types to use in FFI
functions. The commit is motivated by one another place where
ffi.new('int[1]') appeared, in SWIM module, to obtain payload
size as an out parameter of a C function.
