Subject: [PATCH] Assert the soak's heap slope over the second half of the run
 and report the warm-up slope beside it

Under the soak workload V8's compiled code and the layers' caches grow for about 250 switches and then the heap is flat (121.4, 121.7, 120.4, 119.1 MiB after 250 to 400 switches), so a line fitted from switch 20 measured the warm-up. Over the second half the threshold stays 10 KiB per switch; the run before the layer effect fix measures 19 KiB there.
