  * Rework the block allocator
  
  The main goal here is to reduce fragmentation, which turns out to be
  the case of #743.  While I was here I found some opportunities to
  improve performance too.  The code is rather more complex, but it also
  contains a long comment describing the strategy, so please take a look
  at that for the details.
