The old slot map had a few limitations:

- It was limited to one block, so the maximum slot count was 255.
- Each slot was signed 16bits, limiting node numbers to INT16_MAX.
- An empty slot was marked by the magic 0xFFFF (-1).

The new slot map format provides 32bit node numbers (UINT32_MAX), a
separate space to mark a slot in use, and extra room to grow.  The slot
map is now bounded by i_size, not a block.
