Mark partially purged arena chunks as non-hugepage.

Add the pages_[no]huge() functions, which toggle huge page state via
madvise(..., MADV_[NO]HUGEPAGE) calls.

The first time a page run is purged from within an arena chunk, call
pages_nohuge() to tell the kernel to make no further attempts to back
the chunk with huge pages.  Upon arena chunk deletion, restore the
associated virtual memory to its original state via pages_huge().

This resolves #243.
