runtime: detect and print corrupted free lists

Issues #10240, #10541, #10941, #11023, #11027 and possibly others are
indicating memory corruption in the runtime. One of the easiest places
to both get corruption and detect it is in the allocator's free lists
since they appear throughout memory and follow strict invariants. This
commit adds a check when sweeping a span that its free list is sane
and, if not, it prints the corrupted free list and panics. Hopefully
this will help us collect more information on these failures.
