Instead of storing eden and relocation allocators separately, all allocators are now in a single array, which makes it more straightforward to iterate over all allocators (when retiring pages for example). Since the underlying allocator (called PerAge) needs to be constructed with different ages, we can't use the default constructor/initialization, so I have a solution in-place for dealing with this.
