ada8447cf6 Reduce maximum tested alignment.
Reduce maximum tested alignment from 2^29 to 2^25.  Some systems may not
have enough contiguous virtual memory to satisfy the larger alignment,
but the smaller alignment is still adequate to test multi-chunk
alignment.

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);
