allow interposition/replacement of allocator (malloc)
replacement is subject to conditions on the replacement functions.
they may only call functions which are async-signal-safe, as specified
either by POSIX or as an implementation-defined extension. if any
allocator functions are replaced, at least malloc, realloc, and free
must be provided. if calloc is not provided, it will behave as
malloc+memset. any of the memalign-family functions not provided will
fail with ENOMEM.
in order to implement the above properties, calloc and __memalign
check that they are using their own malloc or free, respectively.
choice to check malloc or free is based on considerations of
supporting __simple_malloc. in order to make this work, calloc is
split into separate versions for __simple_malloc and full malloc;
commit ba819787ee93ceae94efd274f7849e317c1bff58 already did most of
the split anyway, and completing it saves an extra call frame.
previously, use of -Bsymbolic-functions made dynamic interposition
impossible. now, we are using an explicit dynamic-list, so add
allocator functions to the list. most are not referenced anyway, but
all are added for completeness.
