Add openbsd memory allocator discussed in bug 468, to make it easier for linux users to get non-awful allocation patterns. Use --enable-openbsd-malloc to turn it on. Needs more testing. svn:r13544

o Minor features (performance):
- Tune parameters for cell pool allocation to minimize amount of
RAM overhead used.
+ - Add OpenBSD malloc code from phk as an optional malloc
+ replacement on Linux: some glibc libraries do very poorly
+ with Tor's memory allocation patterns. Pass
+ --enable-openbsd-malloc to get the replacement malloc code.
o Minor features (controller):
- Add a new __HashedControlSessionPassword option for controllers
