Fix an overflow bug in the blist allocator that needlessly capped max

swap size by dividing a value, which was always a multiple of 64, by
64.  Remove the code that reduced max swap size down to that cap.

Eliminate the distinction between BLIST_BMAP_RADIX and
BLIST_META_RADIX.  Call them both BLIST_RADIX.

Make improvments to the blist self-test code to silence compiler
warnings and to test larger blists.
