Previous algorithm would take the base address compute 2GB up and start searching for a free page there (starting from furtherst from base address). Depending on the base address this could cause VirtualAlloc to try access an invalid memory range (stack memory) causing a crash. This changes the implementation to look instead for the closest free page.
This also makes it consistent with other implementations such as allocate_jit_memory_unix

Hi @lucianopa-msft , thanks for providing the fix! Would you mind adding some tests to cover the change. Ideally, those tests should fail on main branch but pass with your changes. Thanks!

I really tried to but couldn't get a repro testing repro that mimics the exact crash. So there may be special conditions for the repro I am still not sure.
