Davi Arnaut f56dd32bf7 Bug#34043: Server loops excessively in _checkchunk() when safemalloc is enabled
Essentially, the problem is that safemalloc is excruciatingly
slow as it checks all allocated blocks for overrun at each
memory management primitive, yielding a almost exponential
slowdown for the memory management functions (malloc, realloc,
free). The overrun check basically consists of verifying some
bytes of a block for certain magic keys, which catches some
simple forms of overrun. Another minor problem is violation
of aliasing rules and that its own internal list of blocks
is prone to corruption.

Another issue with safemalloc is rather the maintenance cost
as the tool has a significant impact on the server code.
Given the magnitude of memory debuggers available nowadays,
especially those that are provided with the platform malloc
implementation, maintenance of a in-house and largely obsolete
memory debugger becomes a burden that is not worth the effort
due to its slowness and lack of support for detecting more
common forms of heap corruption.

Since there are third-party tools that can provide the same
functionality at a lower or comparable performance cost, the
solution is to simply remove safemalloc. Third-party tools
can provide the same functionality at a lower or comparable
performance cost. 

The removal of safemalloc also allows a simplification of the
malloc wrappers, removing quite a bit of kludge: redefinition
of my_malloc, my_free and the removal of the unused second
argument of my_free. Since free() always check whether the
supplied pointer is null, redudant checks are also removed.

Also, this patch adds unit testing for my_malloc and moves
my_realloc implementation into the same file as the other
memory allocation primitives.

client/mysqldump.c:
  Pass my_free directly as its signature is compatible with the
  callback type -- which wasn't the case for free_table_ent.

/*
Analog of DYNAMIC_ARRAY that never reallocs
(so no pointer into the array may ever become invalid).
Memory is allocated in non-contiguous chunks.
This data structure is not space efficient for sparse arrays.
Every element is aligned to sizeof(element) boundary
(to avoid false sharing if element is big enough).
LF_DYNARRAY is a recursive structure. On the zero level
LF_DYNARRAY::level[0] it's an array of LF_DYNARRAY_LEVEL_LENGTH elements,
on the first level it's an array of LF_DYNARRAY_LEVEL_LENGTH pointers
to arrays of elements, on the second level it's an array of pointers
to arrays of pointers to arrays of elements. And so on.
With four levels the number of elements is limited to 4311810304
(but as in all functions index is uint, the real limit is 2^32-1)
Actually, it's wait-free, not lock-free ;-)

lf_dynarray consists of a set of arrays, LF_DYNARRAY_LEVEL_LENGTH elements

from the set. It is the fastest way to scan the array, faster than
for (i=0; i < N; i++) { func(_lf_dynarray_value(dynarray, i)); }
NOTE
if func() returns non-zero, the scan is aborted
