The allocator in malloc-pc has been extracted, so it can be used in every arch.
This operation showed that both the alloc and free functions can be also
generic.
Because of this, the QGuestAllocator has been removed from is function to wrap
the alloc and free function, and now just contains the allocator parameters.
As a result, only the allocator initalizer and unitializer are arch dependent.

Implement a simple first-fit memory allocator that
attempts to keep track of leased blocks of memory
in order to be able to re-use blocks.
Additionally, allow the user to specify when
initializing the device that upon cleanup,
we would like to assert that there are no
blocks in use. This may be useful for identifying
problems in qtests that use more complicated
set-up and tear-down routines.
This functionality is used in my upcoming ahci-test v2
patch set, but I didn't see fit to enable it for any
existing tests, which will continue to operate the
same as they have prior.

This is a very simple allocator for the PC platform. It should
be possible to add backends for other platforms.
