* Heap improvements
This commit makes the following improvements:
1. Add a check to heap_2 to track if a memory block is allocated to the
application or not. The MSB of the size field is used for this
purpose. The same check already exists in heap_4 and heap_5. This
check prevents against double free.
2. Add a new flag configHEAP_CLEAR_MEMORY_ON_FREE to heap_2, heap_4 and
heap_5. The application writer can set it to 1 in their
FreeRTOSConfig.h to ensure that a block of memory allocated using
pvPortMalloc is cleared (i.e. set to zero) when it is freed using
vPortFree. If left undefined, configHEAP_CLEAR_MEMORY_ON_FREE
defaults to 0 for backward compatibility. We recommend setting
configHEAP_CLEAR_MEMORY_ON_FREE to 1 for better security.
3. Add a new API pvPortCalloc to heap_2, heap_4 and heap_5. This API
has the following signature:
void * pvPortCalloc( size_t xNum, size_t xSize );
It allocates memory for an array of xNum objects each of which is of
xSize and initializes all bytes in the allocated storage to zero. If
allocation succeeds, it returns a pointer to the lowest byte in the
allocated memory block. On failure, it returns a null pointer.

The configuration was updated using
uncrustify -c .github/uncrustify.cfg -o .github/uncrustify.cfg --update-config-with-doc
to align with the actually used uncrustify version used, i.e., all
configuration is now explicitly set (and no longer implicit).
The files that are common to all ports ("portable/MemMang*" and
"portable/Common/mpu_wrappers.c" are now also autoformatted.
