Header files are now self-contained, which makes the relationships
between the files clearer, and crucially allows LSP tools like `clangd`
to function correctly in all of our header files. I have verified that
the headers are self-contained (aside from the various Windows shims) by
compiling them as if they were C files – in a follow-up commit I plan to
add this to CI to ensure we don't regress on this front.
Currently used only for guarding purposes, the hint is used to determine
if the allocation is supposed to be frequently reused. For example, it
might urge the allocator to ensure the allocation is cached.
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.
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.
Previously the calculation of sleep time between wakeups was implemented within
background_thread. This resulted in some parts of decay and hpa specific
logic mixing with background thread implementation. In this change, background
thread delegates this calculation to arena and it, in turn, delegates it to PAI.
The next step is to implement the actual calculation of time until deferred work
in HPA.
