Jason Evans a64123ce13 Refactor madvise(2) configuration.
Add feature tests for the MADV_FREE and MADV_DONTNEED flags to
madvise(2), so that MADV_FREE is detected and used for Linux kernel
versions 4.5 and newer.  Refactor pages_purge() so that on systems which
support both flags, MADV_FREE is preferred over MADV_DONTNEED.

This resolves #387.

jemalloc is a general purpose malloc(3) implementation that emphasizes
fragmentation avoidance and scalable concurrency support.  jemalloc first came
into use as the FreeBSD libc allocator in 2005, and since then it has found its
way into numerous applications that rely on its predictable behavior.  In 2010
jemalloc development efforts broadened to include developer support features
such as heap profiling and extensive monitoring/tuning hooks.  Modern jemalloc
releases continue to be integrated back into FreeBSD, and therefore versatility
remains critical.  Ongoing development efforts trend toward making jemalloc
among the best allocators for a broad range of demanding applications, and
eliminating/mitigating weaknesses that have practical repercussions for real
world applications.

The COPYING file contains copyright and licensing information.

The INSTALL file contains information on how to configure, build, and install
jemalloc.

The ChangeLog file contains a brief summary of changes for each release.
