Andrea Righi b04e82b5eb scx_rustland_core: include buddy-alloc and refactor allocator code
The dependency of the buddy-alloc crate [1] seems to cause some troubles
with packaging, mostly because the selftests for the crate are failing
when it's compiled in release mode.

For example:

 $ cargo test --release -- --nocapture
 thread 'tests::fast_alloc::test_basic_malloc' panicked at src/tests/fast_alloc.rs:25:13:
 assertion `left == right` failed
   left: 0
  right: 42

Some of these failures with BuddyAlloc can be fixed by using a memory
arena buffer aligned to page size.

However, some test failures with FastAlloc persist that cannot be
resolved merely by aligning the pre-allocated memory arena to the page
size, as mentioned in [2].

The concern is that this may potentially lead to actual memory bugs.

Therefore, it seems safer to refactor the custom allocator code to
simply use BuddyAlloc, dropping FastAlloc completely.

To achieve this, the entire BuddyAlloc code has been directly included
in scx_rustland_core, referencing the original project and its MIT
licensing information (with the entire code still distributed under the
GPLv2 license).

Then the code has been slightly modified to remove FastAlloc and the
external dependency on the buddy-alloc crate has been dropped.

From a performance perspective this change doesn't seem to introduce any
measurable regression.
