Previously the heap to allocate from was selected by a mask of allowed
heap types. This may have been done as a primitive form of constraint
solving, the first heap type that matched any set bit of the heap mask
was allocated from, unless that heap was excluded by having its heap
ID bit not set in the separate passed in heap ID mask.
The heap type does not really represent constraints that should be
matched against to begin with. So the patch [0] removed the the heap type
mask matching but unfortunately left the heap ID mask check (possibly by
mistake or to preserve API). Therefor we now only have a mask of heap
IDs, but heap IDs are unique identifiers and have nothing to do with the
underling heap, so mask matching is not useful here. This also limits us
to 32 heaps total in a system.
With the heap query API users can find the right heap based on type or
name themselves then just supply the ID for that heap. Remove heap ID
mask and allow users to specify heap ID directly by its number.
I know this is an ABI break, but we are in staging so lets get this over
with now rather than limit ourselves later.

This also means we don't need to store the available heaps in a plist,
we only operation we care about is lookup, so a better data structure
should be chosen at some point, regular list or xarray maybe?
This is base on -next as to be on top of the other taken Ion patches.
