Michael Anthony Knyszek 4c7567290c runtime: set mspan limit field early and eagerly
Currently the mspan limit field is set after allocSpan returns, *after*
the span has already been published to the GC (including the
conservative scanner). But the limit field is load-bearing, because it's
checked to filter out invalid pointers. A stale limit value could cause
a crash by having the conservative scanner access allocBits out of
bounds.

Fix this by setting the mspan limit field before publishing the span.
For large objects and arena chunks, we adjust the limit down after
allocSpan because we don't have access to the true object's size from
allocSpan. However this is safe, since we first initialize the limit to
something definitely safe (the actual span bounds) and only adjust it
down after. Adjusting it down has the benefit of more precise debug
output, but the window in which it's imprecise is also fine because a
single object (logically, with arena chunks) occupies the whole span, so
the 'invalid' part of the memory will just safely point back to that
object. We can't do this for smaller objects because the limit will
include space that does *not* contain any valid objects.

Fixes #74288.
