Create a guarding allocator. Optionally specify a `guardLocation` indicating where read/write protected guard pages should be placed with respect to the memory blocks returned by the `allocate` method. If `guardLocation` is not specified, guard pages are placed immediately following the memory blocks returned by `allocate`.
