As we moved most of the creation of a BufferPool to be via the
Streaming::pool() method, which uses a thread-local, it makes sense
to start cleaning up the design and make it more modern C++.
The above mentioned method would return a reference and you'd see
loads of places use `auto &pool =` which is less than ideal.
As the number of places where we actually instantiate a BufferPool
goes down, the usage of some sort of smart pointer makes more sense.
This now makes all APIs use BufferPool be wrapped in a shared_ptr.
