runtime: set iOS addr space to 40 bits with incremental pagealloc

In iOS <14, the address space is strictly limited to 8 GiB, or 33 bits.
As a result, the page allocator also assumes all heap memory lives in
this region. This is especially necessary because the page allocator has
a PROT_NONE mapping proportional to the size of the usable address
space, so this keeps that mapping very small.

However starting with iOS 14, this restriction is relaxed, and mmap may
start returning addresses outside of the <14 range. Today this means
that in iOS 14 and later, users experience an error in the page
allocator when a heap arena is mapped outside of the old range.

This change increases the ios/arm64 heapAddrBits to 40 while
simultaneously making ios/arm64 use the 64-bit pagealloc implementation
(with reservations and incremental mapping) to accommodate both iOS
versions <14 and 14+.

Once iOS <14 is deprecated, we can remove these exceptions and treat
ios/arm64 like any other arm64 platform.

This change also makes the BaseChunkIdx expression a little bit easier
to read, while we're here.

Fixes #46860.
