Subject: [PATCH 19/23] revocable: Support to define revocable consumer handle on stack

Support a way to define a revocable consumer handle on stack.  Under
some circumstances, the user wouldn't like to use dynamic memory
allocation for consumer handles.

This makes the struct revocable no longer opaque.
