Make it all work. (#25)

* Fix the iterator moving left in find

Set each empty block passed to the left edge of the block being inserted

* Add new invariants, fix many bugs. It works!

Empty blocks must have same address as block to the right.
No trailing empty blocks at end of vec.
Search for left edge and right edge of block to find potential merges.
Fix insert, now extends the lenghth of the vec.
Fix refill, now copies over old vector's contents into new mem.
Fix Block eq comparision, now ignores size and meets rules for Ord
Fix alloc, place back aligned blocks which dont fit instead of leaking
