The inconsistent heaps stats in memstats are a bit messy. Primarily,
heap_sys is non-orthogonal with heap_released and heap_inuse. In later
CLs, we're going to want heap_sys-heap_released-heap_inuse, so clean
this up by replacing heap_sys with an orthogonal metric: heapFree.
heapFree represents page heap memory that is free but not released.
I think this change also simplifies a lot of reasoning about these
stats; it's much clearer what they mean, and to obtain HeapSys for
memstats, we no longer need to do the strange subtraction from heap_sys
when allocating specifically non-heap memory from the page heap.
Because we're removing heap_sys, we need to replace it with a sysMemStat
for mem.go functions. In this case, heap_released is the most
appropriate because we increase it anyway (again, non-orthogonality). In
which case, it makes sense for heap_inuse, heap_released, and heapFree
to become more uniform, and to just represent them all as sysMemStats.
While we're here and messing with the types of heap_inuse and
heap_released, let's also fix their names (and last_heap_inuse's name)
up to the more modern Go convention of camelCase.
For #48409.
