[common] Add encrypted-file-node-size slab into slab allocator

Allocating the file nodes (`file_node_t`) of Gramine's encrypted files
can be one source of overhead for certain workloads (e.g., RocksDB
compaction). To address this performance bottleneck, this commit
introduces a new slab size (8288B, considering the alignment) tailored
for the size of the file node (8235B) and therefore a new free list for
8256B blocks managed by the slab allocator. Additionally, one more slab
size (~4KB) is added, to have proper powers-of-2 slab levels.

Note that while this change can improve performance for certain memory
allocation patterns, it introduces internal fragmentation and may also
increase memory overhead and external fragmentation if the application
rarely makes allocations of the file node size. However, our limited
experiments did not show any issues.

In addition, this commit fixes an issue where in-memory files are not
zeroed out when resized.
