Small optimization to Arena. Skip the max operation in path where it's pointless.

Pull request overview

This PR makes a small performance-focused tweak to Arena’s slow allocation path by avoiding an unnecessary max computation when the arena has no existing chunks.

Changes:

  • Refactors new-chunk sizing logic to compute the “double previous chunk size” path only when a previous chunk exists.
  • Keeps the existing minimum new-chunk size floor (max(requested_size, DEFAULT_CHUNK_SIZE_WITHOUT_FOOTER)), while simplifying the empty-arena path.
