slabs rather than embedding a singly linked list in the slabs
themselves. This has a few advantages:
- Better utilization of the slab's memory by not wasting 16-bytes at the
front.
- Simpler allocation strategy by not having a struct packed at the
front.
- Avoids paging every allocated slab in just to traverse them for
deallocating or dumping stats.
The latter is the really nice part. Folks have complained from time to
time bitterly that tearing down a BumpPtrAllocator, even if it doesn't
run any destructors, pages in all of the memory allocated. Now it won't.

Also resolves a FIXME with the scaling of the slab sizes. The scaling
now disregards specially sized slabs for allocations larger than the
threshold.

parameters rather than runtime parameters.
There is only one user of these parameters and they are compile time for
that user. Making these compile time seems to better reflect their
intended usage as well.

Now to copy a string into a BumpPtrAllocator and get a StringRef to the copy:
StringRef myCopy = myStr.copy(myAllocator);

malloc, so there should be no functional changes to other code.
These changes are necessary since I have plans to use this allocator in the JIT
memory manager, and it needs a special allocator.
I also added some tests which helped me pinpoint some bugs.
