runtime: make the scavenger and allocator respect the memory limit

Browse Source 
This change does everything necessary to make the memory allocator and
the scavenger respect the memory limit. In particular, it:

- Adds a second goal for the background scavenge that's based on the
  memory limit, setting a target 5% below the limit to make sure it's
  working hard when the application is close to it.
- Makes span allocation assist the scavenger if the next allocation is
  about to put total memory use above the memory limit.
- Measures any scavenge assist time and adds it to GC assist time for
  the sake of GC CPU limiting, to avoid a death spiral as a result of
  scavenging too much.

All of these changes have a relatively small impact, but each is
intimately related and thus benefit from being done together.

For #48409.
