Initialize channel `Block`s directly on the heap

The channel's `Block::new` was causing a stack overflow because it held
32 item slots, instantiated on the stack before moving to `Box::new`.
The 32x multiplier made modestly-large item sizes untenable.

That block is now initialized directly on the heap.

Fixes #102246
