New API for statistics. COMPATIBILITY BREAKING!

Browse source 
New structure VmaStatistics, VmaDetailedStatistics, VmaTotalStatistics. Modified structure VmaBudget.
New function vmaCalculateStatistics, vmaGetPoolStatistics, vmaCalculatePoolStatistics, vmaGetVirtualBlockStatistics, vmaCalculateVirtualBlockStatistics. vmaGetHeapBudgets function unchanged.

Updated and rebuilt the docs.
