Norman Feske e9dec93f4b base: optimized slab allocator
This patch changes the organization of the slab blocks within the slab
allocator. Originally, blocks were kept in a list sorted by the number
of free entries. However, it turned out that the maintenance of this
invariant involves a lot of overhead in the presence of a large number
of blocks. The new implementation manages blocks within a ring in no
particular order and maintains a pointer to the block where the next
allocation is attempted. This alleviates the need for sorting blocks
when allocating and deallocating.

Fixes #1908

This is generic part of the Genode implementation. It consists of two parts:

:_Core_: is the ultimate root of the Genode application tree
  and provides abstractions for the lowest-level hardware resources
  such as RAM, ROM, CPU, and generic device access. All generic parts of Core
  can be found here - for system-specific implementations refer to the
  appropriate 'base-<system>' directory.

:_Base libraries and protocols_: that are used by each Genode component
  to interact with other components. This is the glue that holds everything
  together.
