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.

Included in this change:
- Change the tag when a pointer is freed so it's easy to detect if
an already freed pointer is being used.
- Move the free backtrace out of the header. This backtrace is only
used under only some circumstances, so no need to allocate space
in all headers for it.
- Add new option free_track_backtrace_num_frames to specify how many
frames to record when the free occurs. This removes the dependency
on the backtrace option to get backtraces.

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.
