A pairing heap can perform the same operations as the binary heap + index, with as good or better algorithmic complexity, and that's an existing data structure so that we don't need to invent anything new compared to v16. This commit makes the new binaryheap functionality that was added in commitsb840508644

unnecessary, but they will be reverted separately. Remove the optimization to only build and maintain the heap when the amount of memory used is close to the limit, becuase the bookkeeping overhead with the pairing heap seems to be small enough that it doesn't matter in practice.
