Reworked hq.rs to be simpler.

I found what seems like a bug in the code when it uses v.wrapping_add(1) > 0 when v is a usize-- because the only way for this condition to be false is for v to be usize::MAX -- and this will not be consistent between x32 and x64 versions. Moreover, there is even a case of wrapping_add(2) -- which would only pass if the original is usize::MAX-1.

Given all this, this expression does not make any sense, and should be replaced with m.alloc_cell(num_bytes + 2):

if num_bytes + 2 > 0 {
    m.alloc_cell(num_bytes + 2)
} else {
    AllocF::AllocatedMemory::default()
}

Attention: there is clearly a bug in the code when it uses `v.wrapping_add(1) > 0` when `v` is a `usize`-- because the only way for this condition to be false is for `v` to be `usize::MAX` -- and this will not be consistent between x32 and x64 versions. Moreover, there is even a case of `wrapping_add(2)` -- which would only pass if the original is `usize::MAX-1`.

Given all this, this expression does not make any sense, and should be replaced with `m.alloc_cell(num_bytes + 2)`:

```rust
if num_bytes + 2 > 0 {
    m.alloc_cell(num_bytes + 2)
} else {
    AllocF::AllocatedMemory::default()
}
```
