Reland of "[heap] Divide available memory upon compaction tasks"

This reverts commit cf71c28f13425d0e8c041391a2b37f0908b9e4b5.

Original message:

[heap] Divide available memory upon compaction tasks
- Fairly (round-robin) divide available memory upon compaction tasks.
- Ensure an upper limit (of memory) since dividing is O(n) for n free-space
  nodes.
- Refill from free lists managed by sweeper once a compaction space becomes
  empty.

Assumption for dividing memory: Memory in the free lists is sparse upon starting
compaction (which means that only few nodes are available), except for memory
reducer GCs, which happen in idle time though (so it's less of a problem).
