semihosting/arm-compat: replace heuristic for softmmu SYS_HEAPINFO

The previous numbers were a guess at best and rather arbitrary without
taking into account anything that might be loaded. Instead of using
guesses based on the state of registers implement a new function that:

 a) scans the MemoryRegions for the largest RAM block
 b) iterates through all "ROM" blobs looking for the biggest gap

The "ROM" blobs include all code loaded via -kernel and the various
-device loader techniques.
