Improve the svm fifo allocator

- Round up requested fifo size to the next power of two
- Maintain per-segment power-of-two freelists
- Allocate fifos in chunks, to amortize alignment overhead
- Detach builtin test client application after each run
  so we can use different fifo sizes each time
- Be more suspicious of session / application indices

Useful prep work for dynamically resizing fifos. As far as the svm
fifo code is concerned, it's OK to set fifo->nitems anywhere in the
interval: [0, 1<<(fifo->freelist_index) + FIFO_SEGMENT_MIN_FIFO_SIZE]

It's unlikely that setting nitems below the path MTU will work out
very well...
