prog: split Arg into smaller structs
Right now Arg is a huge struct (160 bytes), which has many different fields used for different arg kinds. Since most of the args we see in a typical corpus are ArgConst, this results in a significant memory overuse. This change: - makes Arg an interface instead of a struct - adds a SomethingArg struct for each arg kind we have - converts all *Arg pointers into just Arg, since interface variable by itself contains a pointer to the actual data - removes ArgPageSize, now ConstArg is used instead - consolidates correspondence between arg kinds and types, see comments before each SomethingArg struct definition - now LenType args that denote the length of VmaType args are serialized as "0x1000" instead of "(0x1000)"; to preserve backwards compatibility syzkaller is able to parse the old format for now - multiple small changes all over to make the above work After this change syzkaller uses twice less memory after deserializing a typical corpus.
