gen0_bricks_cleared flag needs to be propagated when we change heap count

[Maoni0]

Fixes #90452

What happened was when we change the heap count, in heap X we get a region from heap Y and the gen0_bricks_cleared flag from Y says false but heap X says true. So when we check the bricks on heap X, we assume it’s true but it’s not. I can see this because the region check_gen0_bricks complains about is

I added some dprintfs to print the gen0 regions on the old heaps with this flag as false and this is a region coming from heap#2 whose gen0_bricks_cleared flag was false -

the fix is to detect if any heap has this flag as false and if so make all heaps’ flag false (tracking which region is moved from which other heap is something we need additional recording for and it’s not really worth doing just for this)

Agree with the assessment. Since this happens only during heap count changes (which shouldn't happen frequently), the increased latency due to the clearing of the bricks is probably acceptable.
