mem: Remove a check that the memory size is a multiple of the page size.

There are a few problems with this check.

1. Many ISAs support multiple page sizes.
2. Memories (particularly small ROMs) may not actually be in multiples
   of the page size.
3. In a heterogenous environment, there won't be a single page size even
   if each ISA picks a canonical page size.
4. Other than catching some egregious configuration mistakes, there's
   nothing functionally wrong/different about a memory that isn't evenly
   coverable in pages, especially in systems or configurations that
   don't even use paging.
