bihash template: reinstate the check for the available memory in the arena
ffb14b9554afa1e58c3657e0c91dda3135008274 has changed the semantics of alloc_arena_next to become an offset off alloc_arena, but in the available memory check in BV (alloc_aligned) it still treats it as a virtual address, resulting in the check always succeeding, thus over a prolonged period bihash arena allocator potentially overwriting whatever is following the arena.
