Instead of returning HeapBlock memory to the kernel (or a non-type specific shared cache), we now keep a BlockAllocator per CellAllocator and implement "deallocation" by basically informing the kernel that we don't need the physical memory right now. This is done with MADV_FREE or MADV_DONTNEED if available, but for other platforms (including SerenityOS) we munmap and then re-mmap the memory to achieve the same effect. It's definitely clunky, so I've added a FIXME about implementing the madvise options on SerenityOS too. The important outcome of this change is that GC types that use a type-specific allocator become immune to use-after-free type confusion attacks, since their virtual addresses will only ever be re-used for the same exact type again and again. Fixes #22274
