a184d3fcde Fix/remove flawed alignment-related overflow tests.
Fix/remove three related flawed tests that attempted to cause OOM due to
large request size and alignment constraint.  Although these tests
"passed" on 64-bit systems due to the virtual memory hole, they could
pass on some 32-bit systems.

b2c31660be Extract profiling code from [re]allocation functions.
Extract profiling code from malloc(), imemalign(), calloc(), realloc(),
mallocx(), rallocx(), and xallocx().  This slightly reduces the amount
of code compiled into the fast paths, but the primary benefit is the
combinatorial complexity reduction.

Simplify iralloc[t]() by creating a separate ixalloc() that handles the
no-move cases.

Further simplify [mrxn]allocx() (and by implication [mrn]allocm()) to
make request size overflows due to size class and/or alignment
constraints trigger undefined behavior (detected by debug-only
assertions).

Report ENOMEM rather than EINVAL if an OOM occurs during heap profiling
backtrace creation in imemalign().  This bug impacted posix_memalign()
and aligned_alloc().

d82a5e6a34 Implement the *allocx() API.
Implement the *allocx() API, which is a successor to the *allocm() API.
The *allocx() functions are slightly simpler to use because they have
fewer parameters, they directly return the results of primary interest,
and mallocx()/rallocx() avoid the strict aliasing pitfall that
allocm()/rallocx() share with posix_memalign().  The following code
violates strict aliasing rules:

    foo_t *foo;
    allocm((void **)&foo, NULL, 42, 0);

whereas the following is safe:

    foo_t *foo;
    void *p;
    allocm(&p, NULL, 42, 0);
    foo = (foo_t *)p;

mallocx() does not have this problem:

    foo_t *foo = (foo_t *)mallocx(42, 0);
