Fix integer overflows in internal memalign and malloc functions [BZ #22343]
When posix_memalign is called with an alignment less than MALLOC_ALIGNMENT and a requested size close to SIZE_MAX, it falls back to malloc code (because the alignment of a block returned by malloc is sufficient to satisfy the call). In this case, an integer overflow in _int_malloc leads to posix_memalign incorrectly returning successfully. Upon fixing this and writing a somewhat thorough regression test, it was discovered that when posix_memalign is called with an alignment larger than MALLOC_ALIGNMENT (so it uses _int_memalign instead) and a requested size close to SIZE_MAX, a different integer overflow in _int_memalign leads to posix_memalign incorrectly returning successfully. Both integer overflows affect other memory allocation functions that use _int_malloc (one affected malloc in x86) or _int_memalign as well. This commit fixes both integer overflows. In addition to this, it adds a regression test to guard against false successful allocations by the following memory allocation functions when called with too-large allocation sizes and, where relevant, various valid alignments: malloc, realloc, calloc, reallocarray, memalign, posix_memalign, aligned_alloc, valloc, and pvalloc.

+/* Bug 22375 reported a regression in malloc where if after malloc'ing then
+ free'ing a small block of memory, malloc is then called with a really
+ large size argument (close to SIZE_MAX): instead of returning NULL and
+ setting errno to ENOMEM, malloc incorrectly returns the previously
+ allocated block instead. Bug 22343 reported a similar case where
+ posix_memalign incorrectly returns successfully when called with an with
+ a really large size argument.
+
+ Both of these were caused by integer overflows in the allocator when it
+ was trying to pad the requested size to allow for book-keeping or
+ alignment. This test guards against such bugs by repeatedly allocating
+ and freeing small blocks of memory then trying to allocate various block
+ sizes larger than the memory bus width of 64-bit targets, or almost
+ as large as SIZE_MAX on 32-bit targets supported by glibc. In each case,
+ it verifies that such impossibly large allocations correctly fail. */
