Because one entry point is simpler than two, we make replace_init fulfil
both the roles of replace_init and replace_get_bridge.
Note this should be binary compatible with older replace-malloc
libraries, albeit not detecting their bridge (and with the
previous change, they do not register anyways). So loading older
replace-malloc libraries should do nothing, but not crash in awful ways.

The allocator API is a moving target, and every time we change it, the
surface for replace-malloc libraries grows. This causes some build
system problems, because of the tricks in replace_malloc.mk, which
require the full list of symbols.
Considering the above and the goal of moving some of the replace-malloc
libraries into mozglue, it becomes simpler to reduce the replace-malloc
exposure to the initialization functions.
So instead of the allocator poking into replace-malloc libraries for all
the functions, we expect their replace_init function to alter the table
of allocator functions it's passed to register its own functions.
This means replace-malloc implementations now need to copy the original
table, which is not a bad thing, as it allows function calls with one
level of indirection less. It also replace_init functions to not
actually register the replace-malloc functions in some cases, which will
be useful when linking some replace-malloc libraries into mozglue.
Note this is binary compatible with previously built replace-malloc
libraries, but because those libraries wouldn't update the function
table, they would stay disabled.

These flags are only relevant on OS X, and will not be necessary soon, so this
commit moves them to a separate variable while we move the remainder of the
ldflags to mozbuild.

For obscure linkage reasons, we need all the replace-malloc symbols
being passed to the linker to tell it to allow them being undefined.
That list actually duplicates what's in malloc_decls.h somehow, and
every time we add an entry point, we end up having to modify those two
files (and others, addressed in different bugs), which is suboptimal.
So we generate the list of those symbols from malloc_decls.h.

jemalloc_ptr_info() gives info about any pointer, such as whether it's within a
live or free allocation, and if so, info about that allocation. It's useful for
debugging.
moz_malloc_enclosing_size_of() uses jemalloc_ptr_info() to measure the size of
an allocation from an interior pointer. It's useful for memory reporting,
especially for Rust code.

MOZ_REPLACE_MALLOC_LINKAGE was added back when there were problems with
getting weak references working properly for replace-malloc.
Versions of OSX < 10.6 needed flat namespace, but aren't supported
anymore.
Versions of Xcode < 4.5 required flat namespace + a dummy library in
order to produce proper weak references. There is virtually nobody still
building with such an ancient toolchain.
Keeping those around doesn't /really/ hurt, except recent versions of
Xcode don't expose dyldinfo in /usr/bin, used for the configure test.
Consequently, MOZ_REPLACE_MALLOC_LINKAGE ended up being set to use the
dummy library setup, which, by using flat namespace, now causes harm in
bug 1356701, causing bug 1378332.

Bug 1168719 added a generic replace malloc library which name happened to be
the same as the existing dummy library used to link replace malloc on OSX.
Change the name of that dummy library.
