this cleans up what had become widespread direct inline use of "GNU C"
style attributes directly in the source, and lowers the barrier to
increased use of hidden visibility, which will be useful to recovering
some of the efficiency lost when the protected visibility hack was
dropped in commit dc2f368e565c37728b0d620380b849c3a1ddd78f, especially
on archs where the PLT ABI is costly.

commit 618b18c78e33acfe54a4434e91aa57b8e171df89 removed the previous
detection and hardening since it was incorrect. commit
72141795d4edd17f88da192447395a48444afa10 already handled all that
remained for hardening the static-linked case. in the dynamic-linked
case, have the dynamic linker check whether malloc was replaced and
make that information available.
with these changes, the properties documented in commit
c9f415d7ea2dace5bf77f6518b6afc36bb7a5732 are restored: if calloc is
not provided, it will behave as malloc+memset, and any of the
memalign-family functions not provided will fail with ENOMEM.

this change serves multiple purposes:
1. it ensures that static linking of memalign-family functions will
pull in the system malloc implementation, thereby causing link errors
if an attempt is made to link the system memalign functions with a
replacement malloc (incomplete allocator replacement).
2. it eliminates calls to free that are unpaired with allocations,
which are confusing when setting breakpoints or tracing execution.
as a bonus, making __bin_chunk external may discourage aggressive and
unnecessary inlining of it.
