From: Brett Walker <brett.walker at geometry.com.au>
Remove a discrepancy between code comments and the definition for arena_header,
ARENA_PADDING and free_arena_header.
When the size of int and pointer are both 32-bits; and compiled with
DEBUG_MALLOC undefined; the following are true: sizeof(arena_header) == 16
and sizeof(free_arena_header) == 56.
To correct this, the type of _pad needs to be changed from size_t to uint8_t.
This will make sizeof(free_arena_header) == 32.
