SF bug 542181: Realloc behavior 

The bug report pointed out a bogosity in the comment block explaining
thread safety for arena management.  Repaired that comment, repaired a
couple others while I was at it, and added an assert.

_PyMalloc_DebugRealloc:  If this needed to get more memory, but couldn't,
it erroneously freed the original memory.  Repaired that.

This is for 2.3 only (unless we decide to backport the new pymalloc).

of memory until it's actually needed.
So long as a pool is in the used state, we're certain there *is* a block
available for allocating. If pool->freeblock is NULL then, that means we
simply haven't yet gotten to one of the higher-address blocks. The offset
from the pool_header to the start of "the next" virgin block is stored in
the pool_header nextoffset member, and the largest value of nextoffset that
makes sense is stored in the maxnextoffset member when a pool is initialized.
All the blocks in a pool have been passed out at least once when and only
when nextoffset > maxnextoffset.
