There was a subtle mismatch between the obviously expected behavior
of BumpAllocator::for_each_chunk() and its actual implementation.
You'd think it would invoke the callback with the address of each chunk,
but actually it also took the liberty of adding sizeof(ChunkHeader) to
this address. UniformBumpAllocator::destroy_all() relied on this to
get the right address for objects to delete.
The bug happened in BumpAllocator::deallocate_all(), where we use
for_each_chunk() to walk the list of chunks and munmap() them.
To avoid memory mapping churn, we keep a global cache of 1 chunk around.
Since we were being called with the offset chunk address, it meant that
the cached chunk shifted 16 bytes away from its real address every time
we re-added it to the cache.
Eventually the cached chunk address would leave its memory region
entirely, and at that point, any attempt to allocate from it would yield
an address outside the region, causing memory corruption.
In particular, we implicitly required that the caller initializes the
returned instances themselves (solved by making
UniformBumpAllocator::allocate call the constructor), and BumpAllocator
itself cannot handle classes that are not trivially deconstructible
(solved by deleting the method).

This fixes two bugs:
1. `end_offset` was missing the alignment that might have been
introduced while computing `base_ptr`.
2. Ignoring point 1, `end_offset` computed the offset of the first byte
that is outside the current chunk. However, this might be in the
middle of a (hypothetical) object! The loop treats `end_offset` as if
it points to the first byte beyond the last (valid) object. So if the
last few bytes of the chunk are unused, the loop iterates once too
often.
Found by OSS Fuzz, long-standing issue (since 2021-07-31)

(This probably also resolves some other issues that go through
RegexMatcher.)

When compiling this code with Clang, both branches of the ternary
operator get evaluated at compile-time, triggering a warning about a
narrowing implicit conversion. We can use `explode_byte` instead.
