6302e8b73a Overhaul memory allocation model
This commit makes several fundamental changes to memory handling:

- the frame allocator is now only an allocator for free frames, and does
  not track used frames.
- the frame allocator now stores its free list inside the free frames
  themselves, as a hybrid stack/span model.
  - This has the implication that all frames must currently fit within
    the offset area.
- kutil has a new allocator interface, which is the only allowed way for
  any code outside of src/kernel to allocate. Code under src/kernel
  _may_ use new/delete, but should prefer the allocator interface.
- the heap manager has become heap_allocator, which is merely an
  implementation of kutil::allocator which doles out sections of a given
  address range.
- the heap manager now only writes block headers when necessary,
  avoiding page faults until they're actually needed
- page_manager now has a page fault handler, which checks with the
  address_manager to see if the address is known, and provides a frame
  mapping if it is, allowing heap manager to work with its entire
  address size from the start. (Currently 32GiB.)

863555ec6b Clean up process memory on exit.
Additionally, there were several bug fixes needed to allow this:
- frame_allocator was allocating its frame_blocks from the heap, causing
  a circular dependency. Now it gives itself a page on its own when
  needed.
- frame_allocator::free was putting any trailing pages in a block back
  into the list after the current block, so they would be the next block
  iterated to.
- frame_allocator::free was updating the address it was looking for
  after freeing some pages, but not the count it was looking for, so it
  would eventually free all pages after the initial address.
