runtime, cmd/link: optimize memory allocation on wasm

WebAssembly's memory is contiguous. Allocating memory at a high address
also allocates all memory up to that address. This change reduces
the initial memory allocated on wasm from 1GB to 16MB by using multiple
heap arenas and reducing the size of a heap arena.

Fixes #27462.
