This commit adds GENERAL_ARENA for functions, symbols, constants, aliases, macros, and traversal args, converting remaining malloc/calloc calls to arena-based allocation. It also removes corresponding free() calls as arena handles bulk deallocation. This completes the migration to arena-based memory management throughout and eliminates potential memory leaks and improving consistency.
