In the previous implementation, if the required alignment padding was smaller than the minimum filler object, the additional card's memory worth of padding might cause the PLAB to span beyond the end of the selected heap region.  This PR addresses the error.  This code successfully runs our internal pipeline of tests without any regressions.

This code has also been exercised in the context of code that more aggressively packs multiple PLABs into heap regions.  That additional code will be integrated with a future PR.

After confirming that the two fixes motivated by review do not introduce regressions on our CI pipelines, I will close this with integration.
