runtime: grow the heap incrementally
Currently, we map and grow the heap a whole arena (64MB) at a time.
Unfortunately, in order to fix #32828, we need to switch from
scavenging inline with allocation back to scavenging on heap growth,
but heap-growth scavenging happens in large jumps because we grow the
heap in large jumps.
In order to prepare for better heap-growth scavenging, this CL
separates mapping more space for the heap from actually "growing" it
(tracking the new space with spans). Instead, growing the heap keeps
track of the "current arena" it's growing into. It track that with new
spans as needed, and only maps more arena space when the current arena
is inadequate. The effect to the user is the same, but this will let
us scavenge on much smaller increments of heap growth.
There are two slightly subtleties to this change:
1. If an allocation requires mapping a new arena and that new arena
isn't contiguous with the current arena, we don't want to lose the
unused space in the current arena, so we have to immediately track
that with a span.
2. The mapped space must be accounted as released and idle, even
though it isn't actually tracked in a span.
For #32828, since this makes heap-growth scavenging far more
effective, especially at small heap sizes. For example, this change is
necessary for TestPhysicalMemoryUtilization to pass once we remove
inline scavenging.
