Use the break position of the current mspace for sizing the zygote heap.
Previously, the mspace footprint used the "overhead" of a heap which underestimates the size of the zygote heap by 16 bytes, the specific size of a descriptor deposited at the start of an mspace containing the control information about that mspace. If a heap is a multiple of a page or within 15 bytes of it, the size of the new heap would be underestimated. Bad things happened when this underestimate was used to create an application heap. The starting address of the application heap was based on a correctly computed value instead of the underestimate. This caused the application heap to be one page to large and end one page beyond where it should. This additional page happened to overlap the first page one of the heap bitmaps. Furthermore, the mspace routine would proceed access protect that page thinking it was unused free space. During the next GC reads to the first page of the bitmap would generate a SIGSEGV. By using the break position, correctly rounded, for all sizing computations this problem no longer exists. Change-Id: Icb3c82731e589747e8e4cf16d0797052e64b3ad5
