runtime/debug: make TestFreeOSMemory more robust
FreeOSMemory relies on the function FreeOSMemory increasing HeapReleased as opposed to the background scavenger, because it reads memory stats *after* the free of a large allocation. However, before that even happens, the background scavenger can swoop in and release all that memory, making it appear as if FreeOSMemory didn't do anything. This change modifies the test to just make sure that the large allocation's memory is returned to the OS *somehow*, by the end of the test. It doesn't really care which happens. It also increases the size of that large allocation to increase the likelihood that the test isn't relying 100% on the background scavenger, and that FreeOSMemory is doing some of the work. Fixes #49478.
