Isaac Freund 4848c3a1ad std: fix sentinel handling in Allocator interface ...

Currently the only function that handles sentinel terminated slices
properly is free. All uses of mem.sliceAsBytes() in the allocator
interface lack proper handling of a possible sentinel.

This commit changes the Allocator interface to use @ptrCast() plus
the new mem.absorbSentinel() instead.
