ea26b33248 Small fixes to malloc debug.
- Change the printed name from pointer to allocation to be explicit about
  what is wrong.
- Change the signal to be SIGRTMAX - 19 instead of SIGRTMIN. This should
  prevent problems if we have to reserve other real time signals.

55a89a48f4 Small refactor.
- Move all ScopedDisableDebugCalls into the debug_XXX calls. This avoids
any issues that might arise where every part of the code needs to properly
guard anything that might allocate. Instead everything is already guarded.
- Add a pointer to debug_data in all of the XXData classes. This avoids
calling individual functions passing in the debug_data pointer.
- Flip the NO_HEADER_OPTIONS to an explicit HEADER_OPTIONS list since fewer
options actually require a header.
- Move the extern of g_debug to the DebugData.h header.

72df6708c8 Fix the default alignment of the allocations.
In order to enforce this constraint:

The pointer returned if the allocation succeeds shall be suitably
aligned so that it may be assigned to a pointer to any type of object
and then used to access such an object in the space allocated.

Force all allocations on 32 bit systems to have 8 byte alignment,
and all allocations on 64 bit systems to have 16 byte alignment.

Add a test to verify that the allocator returns the correct alignments.

63860cb8fd Malloc debug rewrite.
The major components of the rewrite:

- Completely remove the qemu shared library code. Nobody was using it
  and it appears to have broken at some point.
- Adds the ability to enable/disable different options independently.
- Adds a new option that can enable the backtrace on alloc/free when
  a process gets a specific signal.
- Adds a new way to enable malloc debug. If a special property is
  set, and the process has an environment variable set, then debug
  malloc will be enabled. This allows something that might be
  a derivative of app_process to be started with an environment variable
  being enabled.
- get_malloc_leak_info() used to return one element for each pointer that
  had the exact same backtrace. The new version returns information for
  every one of the pointers with same backtrace. It turns out ddms already
  automatically coalesces these, so the old method simply hid the fact
  that there where multiple pointers with the same amount of backtrace.
- Moved all of the malloc debug specific code into the library.
  Nothing related to the malloc debug data structures remains in libc.
- Removed the calls to the debug malloc cleanup routine. Instead, I
  added an atexit call with the debug malloc cleanup routine. This gets
  around most problems related to the timing of doing the cleanup.

The new properties and environment variables:

libc.debug.malloc.options
  Set by option name (such as "backtrace"). Setting this to a bad value
  will cause a usage statement to be printed to the log.

libc.debug.malloc.program
  Same as before. If this is set, then only the program named will
  be launched with malloc debug enabled. This is not a complete match,
  but if any part of the property is in the program name, malloc debug is
  enabled.

libc.debug.malloc.env_enabled
  If set, then malloc debug is only enabled if the running process has the
  environment variable LIBC_DEBUG_MALLOC_ENABLE set.
