This statistic is updated in many places but for MemStats may be
computed from existing statistics. Specifically by definition
heap_idle = heap_sys - heap_inuse since heap_sys is all memory allocated
from the OS for use in the heap minus memory used for non-heap purposes.
heap_idle is almost the same (since it explicitly includes memory that
*could* be used for non-heap purposes) but also doesn't include memory
that's actually used to hold heap objects.
Although it has some utility as a sanity check, it complicates
accounting and we want fewer, orthogonal statistics for upcoming metrics
changes, so just drop it.
