Michael Lippautz 25c6d74ed7 cppgc: Limit sweeping on allocation if possible
Align slow path allocation with V8 in that:
1. Try to refill from the free list.
2. Perform limited sweeping of a space if necessary and retry the free
   list.
3. Try to expand the space.
4. Perform full sweeping of a space if necessary and retry the free
   list.
5. Finish sweeping fully as we would anyways do a GC at this point.
6. Retry the free list again
7. Try expanding again as finishing sweeping may have freed up pages.

Specifically, this adresses a performance problem where we would fully
sweep the whole heap, possibly causing 100ms of jank on allocation. In
such cases the new approach maintains performance and stays fast at the
expense of using more memory.

Allocations usually find memory in 1.-3. Steps 4.-7. are slow paths
that are definitely expensive but prevent failing with OOM.
