8b2c2a596d Support C++17 over-aligned allocation
Summary:
Add support for C++17 over-aligned allocation:
http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2016/p0035r4.html

Supporting all 10 operators means we avoid thunking thru libstdc++-v3/libsupc++ and just call jemalloc directly.

It's also worth noting that there is now an aligned *and sized* operator delete:
```
void operator delete(void* ptr, std::size_t size, std::align_val_t al) noexcept;
```

If JeMalloc did not provide this, the default implementation would ignore the size parameter entirely:
https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc/blob/master/libstdc%2B%2B-v3/libsupc%2B%2B/del_opsa.cc#L30-L33

(I must also update ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx.m4 to a newer version with C++17 support.)

Test Plan:
Wrote a simple test that allocates and then deletes an over-aligned type:
```
struct alignas(32) Foo {};
Foo *f;

int main()
{
  f = new Foo;
  delete f;
}
```

Before this change, both new and delete go thru PLT, and we end up calling regular old free:
```
(gdb) disassemble
Dump of assembler code for function main():
...
   0x00000000004029b7 <+55>:    call   0x4022d0 <_ZnwmSt11align_val_t@plt>
...
   0x00000000004029d5 <+85>:    call   0x4022e0 <_ZdlPvmSt11align_val_t@plt>
...
(gdb) s
free (ptr=0x7ffff6408020) at /home/engshare/third-party2/jemalloc/master/src/jemalloc.git-trunk/src/jemalloc.c:2842
2842            if (!free_fastpath(ptr, 0, false)) {
```

After this change, we directly call new/delete and ultimately call sdallocx:
```
(gdb) disassemble
Dump of assembler code for function main():
...
   0x0000000000402b77 <+55>:    call   0x496ca0 <operator new(unsigned long, std::align_val_t)>
...
   0x0000000000402b95 <+85>:    call   0x496e60 <operator delete(void*, unsigned long, std::align_val_t)>
...
(gdb) s
116             je_sdallocx_noflags(ptr, size);
```

2319152d9f jemalloc cpp new/delete bindings
Adds cpp bindings for jemalloc, along with necessary autoconf settings.
This is mostly to add sized deallocation support, which can't be added
from C directly.  Sized deallocation is ~10% microbench improvement.

* Import ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx.m4 from the autoconf repo, seems like the
  easiest way to get c++14 detection.
* Adds various other changes, like CXXFLAGS, to configure.ac.
* Adds new rules to Makefile.in for src/jemalloc-cpp.cpp, and a basic
  unittest.
* Both new and delete are overridden, to ensure jemalloc is used for
  both.
* TODO future enhancement of avoiding extra PLT thunks for new and
  delete - sdallocx and malloc are publicly exported jemalloc symbols,
  using an alias would link them directly.  Unfortunately, was having
  trouble getting it to play nice with jemalloc's namespace support.

Testing:
Tested gcc 4.8, gcc 5, gcc 5.2, clang 4.0.  Only gcc >= 5 has sized
deallocation support, verified that the rest build correctly.

Tested mac osx and Centos.

Tested --with-jemalloc-prefix and --without-export.

This resolves #202.
