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.
