src/lib: Add memory/time saving special case for ramstage caching
When caching the ramstage for suspend/resume, we copy the entire image as it resides in RAM. The last part of that, CONFIG_HEAP_SIZE bytes, is the heap that will be reinitialized when the ramstage is started again. As such, copying doesn't make sense and complicates HEAP_SIZE configuration (because it needs to fit the space-constrained cache location) and costs time and space. Therefore, skip the heap. Side notes: - When building with ASAN, program.ld indicates that it will allocate some more space after the heap. This is not a problem, we just copy an ASAN-sized copy of the heap. - Heap use is managed in src/lib/malloc with statically allocated variables. Because ramstage is cached before it's executed, these values will be reset to their compile-time default values, too.
