AK+LibC: Implement malloc_good_size() and use it for Vector/HashTable
This implements the macOS API malloc_good_size() which returns the true allocation size for a given requested allocation size. This allows us to make use of all the available memory in a malloc chunk. For example, for a malloc request of 35 bytes our malloc would internally use a chunk of size 64, however the remaining 29 bytes would be unused. Knowing the true allocation size allows us to request more usable memory that would otherwise be wasted and make that available for Vector, HashTable and potentially other callers in the future.
