Subject: [PATCH] Add mallinfo2 and mallinfo

glibc introduced mallinfo2 [1], which solves some of the arguments [2]
against including mallinfo in musl by expanding the width of the
returned counters from int to size_t.

This patch implements mallinfo2 without requiring any additional
metadata.  It iterates through the meta_areas and metas in order
to count mmap, large and small allocations, and produces ordblks,
hblks, hblkhd, uordblks and fordblks values.

Once mallinfo2 exists, it is trivial to implement mallinfo that caps
the mallinfo2 outputs such that they fit in the int fields returned
by mallinfo.

The motivation for this patch is an attempt to use musl instead of glibc
to build host tools used when building the Android platform and the
tools that are distributed to app developers as part of the Android SDK.
mallinfo is used in a variety of third-party code built as part of
building Android, and tests and benchmarks in the Android tree.

The implementation has been lightly tested with bionic's malloc.mallinfo
and malloc.mallinfo2 tests, which verify that a variety of different
allocation sizes result in an increase of the uordblks value by at
least the usable size of the returned allocation.

I can keep this as a local patch in Android if it is still not acceptable
for musl.
