Make the num_free_blocks calculation clearer. There are
sizeof(page->bytes) bytes available for blocks, which is equal to
(kAllocateSize - 16). The previous calculation overestimates the amount
of space by 8 or 12 bytes, but that doesn't change the result because
both kAllocateSize and block_size_ are multiples of 16.

This is the second attempt to purge linker block allocators. Unlike the
previously reverted change which purge allocators whenever all objects
are freed, we only purge right before control leaves the linker. This
limits the performance impact to one munmap() call per dlopen(), in
most cases.

Given that the block allocator does not free allocated memory unless
all objects are freed, we can allocate a large chunk of memory at a
time. This gives us:
1. Higher space efficiency, especially when the objects being
allocated has a large size.
2. Much less mmap()/prctl() calls.
3. Much less vm_area_struct objects.
While this increases the size of virtual memory allocated, the number
of dirty pages would be unchanged or less.
Test result on a Go device:
- Zygote starts 24ms faster on average.
- Kernel vm_area_struct usage 138KB less, across the entire system.

If all allocated memory from a block allocator is freed, it is a good
opportunity to purge all the pages allocated to reduce lingering dirty
pages.
Memory saving varies with the platform and what processes are running.
Measuring right after boot, this saves ~1.8MB on cuttelfish and ~1.3MB
on a 32-bit ARM device.

We've copied & pasted these to too many places. And if we're going to
have another go at upstreaming these, that's probably yet another reason
to have the *values* in just one place. (Even if upstream wants different
names, we'll likely keep the legacy names around for a while for source
compatibility.)

(Where errno is relevant.)
Also consistently use -1 as the fd for anonymous mmaps. (It doesn't matter,
but it's more common, and potentially more intention-revealing.)

Historically we had part of the linker licensed under BSD and
another part under Apache 2 license. This commit makes all the
linker code licensed under BSD license.
