Justin C. Miller 13aee1755e [kernel] Spit out vm_area types ...

The vm_space allow() functionality was a bit janky; using VMAs for all
regions would be a lot cleaner. To that end, this change:

- Adds a "static array" ctor to kutil::vector for setting the kernel
  address space's VMA list. This way a kernel heap VMA can be created
  without the heap already existing.
- Splits vm_area into different subclasses depending on desired behavior
- Splits out the concept of vm_mapper which maps vm_areas to vm_spaces,
  so that some kinds of VMA can be inherently single-space
- Implements VMA resizing so that userspace can grow allocations.
- Obsolete page_table_indices is removed

Also, the following bugs were fixed:

- kutil::map iterators on empty maps no longer break
- memory::page_count was doing page-align, not page-count
