This patchset removes the malloc hooks __malloc_hook, __free_hook,
__realloc_hook and __memalign_hook from the API and leaves compatibility
symbols so that existing applications can continue to link to them.  The
reading and execution of the hooks has been moved to a DSO
libmalloc_compathooks.so, which can be preloaded for applications that
need it.  By default these hooks no longer have any effect in the
library.

Further, the __morecore, __morecore_after_hook and __default_morecore
hooks have also been moved to compat symbols and removed from the API.
Existing applications will continue to link to them but they won't have
any effect on malloc behaviour.

To enable this, the MALLOC_CHECK_, mcheck() and mtrace() hooks have been
weaned away from hooks.  In the process, some mcheck() failures have
been fixed and the overall behaviour is now simpler to follow.

This patchset depends on the mcheck testing infrastructure I've proposed
to expand coverage of tests:
