This change fixes a bug wherein freeing a scavenged span that didn't
coalesce with any neighboring spans would result in that span getting
scavenged again. This case may actually be a common occurance because
"freeing" span trimmings and newly-grown spans end up using the same
codepath. On systems where madvise is relatively expensive, this can
have a large performance impact.

This change also cleans up some of this logic in freeSpanLocked since
a number of factors made the coalescing code somewhat difficult to
reason about with respect to scavenging. Notably, the way the
needsScavenge boolean is handled could be better expressed and the
inverted conditions (e.g. !after.released) can make things even more
confusing.

Fixes #28595.
