9eec503b25 Fixed a munmap abort bug
When BIRD was munmapping too many pages, it sometimes aborted, saying
that munmap failed with "Not enough memory" as the address space was
getting more and more fragmented.

There is a workaround in place, simply keeping that page for future use,
yet it has never been compiled in because I somehow forgot to include
errno.h. And because I also thought that somebody may have ENOMEM not
defined (why?!), there was a check which quietly omitted that
workaround.

Anyway, ENOMEM is POSIX. It's an utter nonsense to check for its
existence. If it doesn't exist, something is broken.

2fc8b4c4ba Alloc: Use posix_memalign() instead of aligned_alloc()
For compatibility with older systems use posix_memalign(). We can
switch to aligned_alloc() when we commit to C11 for multithreading.

886dd92eee Slab: head now uses bitmask for used/free nodes info instead of lists
From now, there are no auxiliary pointers stored in the free slab nodes.
This led to strange debugging problems if use-after-free happened in
slab-allocated structures, especially if the structure's first member is
a next pointer.

This also reduces the memory needed by 1 pointer per allocated object.
OTOH, we now rely on pages being aligned to their size's multiple, which
is quite common anyway.
