Added halloc for allocating memory on the heap.
The new halloc() call allocates memory on the STM32l's SRAM2 starting right above the DATA section. The implementation uses a very-dense, albeit slower, linked-list allocation as opposed to fancy B-trees or something. However, the overhead is just 1 32-bit word per allocation and thus allows for reasonably dense memory-packing on the small 16K memory chip.
