Fix numerous arena bugs.
In arena_ralloc_large_grow(), update the map element for the end of the newly grown run, rather than the interior map element that was the beginning of the appended run. This is a long-standing bug, and it had the potential to cause massive corruption, but triggering it required roughly the following sequence of events: 1) Large in-place growing realloc(), with left-over space in the run that followed the large object. 2) Allocation of the remainder run left over from (1). 3) Deallocation of the remainder run *before* deallocation of the large run, with unfortunate interior map state left over from previous run allocation/deallocation activity, such that one or more pages of allocated memory would be treated as part of the remainder run during run coalescing. In summary, this was a bad bug, but it was difficult to trigger. In arena_bin_malloc_hard(), if another thread wins the race to allocate a bin run, dispose of the spare run via arena_bin_lower_run() rather than arena_run_dalloc(), since the run has already been prepared for use as a bin run. This bug has existed since March 14, 2010: e00572b3 mmap()/munmap() without arena->lock or bin->lock. Fix bugs in arena_dalloc_bin_run(), arena_trim_head(), arena_trim_tail(), and arena_ralloc_large_grow() that could cause the CHUNK_MAP_UNZEROED map bit to become corrupted. These are all long-standing bugs, but the chances of them actually causing problems was much lower before the CHUNK_MAP_ZEROED --> CHUNK_MAP_UNZEROED conversion. Fix a large run statistics regression in arena_ralloc_large_grow() that was introduced on September 17, 2010: 8e3c3c61 Add {,r,s,d}allocm(). Add debug code to validate that supposedly pre-zeroed memory really is.
