Ouch. Not done quite right. Kevin, you may want to remove this from
your staging area, while Max works on a v4.

Let's consider all four possibilities:
Case 1: !offset
we won't be modifying any existing clusters. When we are done, the new
cluster needs a refcount of 1
Case 2: free_in_cluster >= size
we will only be modifying an existing cluster, assume it starts with
refcount of 1. When we are done, it needs a refcount of 2
Case 3: free_in_cluster < size, allocation is not contiguous
we won't be modifying any existing clusters. When we are done, the new
cluster needs a refcount of 1
Case 4: free_in_cluster < size, allocation is contiguous
we will be placing data into both an existing cluster and a new one;
assume the existing cluster starts with a refcount of 1. When we are
done, the old cluster needs a refcount of 2, and the new cluster needs a
refcount of 1

This says the new cluster has a refcount of 0.

Case 1: This incremented the new cluster. Good
Case 2: This incremented the old cluster. Good
Case 3: This incremented the new cluster. Good
Case 4: This incremented the old cluster. But the new cluster remains at
refcount 0. BAD.
v2 got it right, because it always put the NEW cluster at refcount 1 (if
there was a new cluster), then incremented the old cluster when needed.
