deb8e62a83 Implement guard pages.
Adding guarded extents, which are regular extents surrounded by guard pages
(mprotected).  To reduce syscalls, small guarded extents are cached as a
separate eset in ecache, and decay through the dirty / muzzy / retained pipeline
as usual.

7bb05e04be add experimental.arenas_create_ext mallctl
This mallctl accepts an arena_config_t structure which
can be used to customize the behavior of the arena.
Right now it contains extent_hooks and a new option,
metadata_use_hooks, which controls whether the extent
hooks are also used for metadata allocation.

The medata_use_hooks option has two main use cases:

1. In heterogeneous memory systems, to avoid metadata
being placed on potentially slower memory.

2. Avoiding virtual memory from being leaked as a result
of metadata allocation failure originating in an extent hook.

8229cc77c5 Wake up background threads on demand
This change allows every allocator conforming to PAI communicate that it
deferred some work for the future. Without it if a background thread goes into
indefinite sleep, there is no way to notify it about upcoming deferred work.

d93eef2f40 HPA: Introduce a redesigned hpa_central_t.
For now, this only handles allocating virtual address space to shards, with no
reuse.  This is framework, though; it will change over time.

cf2549a149 Add a per-arena oversize_threshold.
This can let manual arenas trade off memory and CPU the way auto arenas do.

777b0ba965 Add PAC: Page allocator classic.
For now, this is just a stub containing the ecaches, with no surrounding code
changed.  Eventually all the core allocator bits will be moved in, in the
subsequent stack of commits.
