Ryan Savitski 175c8867b0 allow for heapprofd's signal to be multiplexed
This patch refactors heapprofd_malloc to make it easier to reuse the
reserved signal for multiple purposes. We define a new generic signal
handler for profilers, which dispatches to more specific logic based on
the signal's payload (si_value).

The profiler signal handler is installed during libc preinit, after
malloc initialization (so races against synchronous heapprofd
initialization need not be considered). In terms of code organization, I
copied the existing approach with a loosely referenced function in
bionic_globals.h. Do tell if you'd rather a different approach here.

The profileability of a process is quite tied to the malloc
files/interfaces in bionic - in particular, it's set through
android_mallopt. I do not change that, but instead introduce a new
android_mallopt option to be able to query profileability of the
process (which is now used by the new profiler signal handler). As part
of that, gZygoteChildProfileable is moved from heapprofd_malloc to
common (alongside gZygoteChild).

I've removed the masking and reraising of the heapprofd signal when
racing against malloc_limit init. We're ok with taking a simpler
approach and dropping the heapprofd signal in such an unlikely race.

Note: this requires a corresponding change in heapprofd to use sigqueue()
instead of kill(), as the latter leaves the si_value uninitialized(?) on
the receiving side.
