reduced memory churn using fixed_xxx containers (#236)

* Added EASTL to help with eliminating memory allocations
* Applied EASTL to eliminate memory allocations, primarily by using `fixed_vector` et al to use stack allocations / inline struct allocations

Reduces memory events in traces by close to a factor of 10 in test scenario (starting editor for project F)
