These are macOS madvise() hints that keep the kernel accounting aware of
how we're using the GC memory. This keeps our memory footprint looking
more accurate.
Before this change, we'd use the system page size as the HeapBlock
size. This caused it to vary on different platforms, going as low
as 4 KiB on most Linux systems.
To make this work, we now use posix_memalign() to ensure we get
size-aligned allocations on every platform.
Also nice: HeapBlock::BLOCK_SIZE is now a constant.
Resulting in a massive rename across almost everywhere! Alongside the
namespace change, we now have the following names:
* JS::NonnullGCPtr -> GC::Ref
* JS::GCPtr -> GC::Ptr
* JS::HeapFunction -> GC::Function
* JS::CellImpl -> GC::Cell
* JS::Handle -> GC::Root
