Michael Anthony Knyszek 796786cd0c runtime: make maxOffAddr reflect the actual address space upper bound
Currently maxOffAddr is defined in terms of the whole 64-bit address
space, assuming that it's all supported, by using ^uintptr(0) as the
maximal address in the offset space. In reality, the maximal address in
the offset space is (1<<heapAddrBits)-1 because we don't have more than
that actually available to us on a given platform.

On most platforms this is fine, because arenaBaseOffset is just
connecting two segments of address space, but on AIX we use it as an
actual offset for the starting address of the available address space,
which is limited. This means using ^uintptr(0) as the maximal address in
the offset address space causes wrap-around, especially when we just
want to represent a range approximately like [addr, infinity), which
today we do by using maxOffAddr.

To fix this, we define maxOffAddr more appropriately, in terms of
(1<<heapAddrBits)-1.

This change also redefines arenaBaseOffset to not be the negation of the
virtual address corresponding to address zero in the virtual address
space, but instead directly as the virtual address corresponding to
zero. This matches the existing documentation more closely and makes the
logic around arenaBaseOffset decidedly simpler, especially when trying
to reason about its use on AIX.

Fixes #38966.
