The verifier currently limits direct offsets into a map to 512MiB to avoid overflow during pointer arithmetic. However, this prevents arena maps from using direct addressing instructions to access data at the end of > 512MiB arena maps. This is necessary when moving arena globals to the end of the arena instead of the front. Refactor the verifier code to remove the offset calculation during direct value access calculations. This is possible because the only two map types that implement .map_direct_value_addr() are arrays and arenas, and they both do their own internal checks to ensure the offset is within bounds.
