libcutils/mspace.c includes libc/bionic/dlmalloc.c, we need to
take care of the fact that any internal C library function cannot
be used from it.

Our dlmalloc implementation currently calls abort() when it detects
that the heap is corrupted, or that an invalid pointer is passed to
one of its functions.
The only way to detect this is because abort() will force-fully
crash the current program with a magic fault address of '0xdeadbaad'.
However, this is not really well documented, and a frequent topic
on the android-ndk forum (among others).
This change makes our dlmalloc code dump a simple message to the
log just before the abort() call (and hence before the stack trace)
to better help identify the problem.

This change is intended to eliminate need to replace libc.so with libc_debug.so in order to enablememory allocation debugging.
This is also the first step towards implementing extended memoryallocation debugging using emulator's capabilities in monitoring memory access.
