Victor Stinner 0507bf56f0 Issue #3329: Implement the PEP 445
Add new enum:

* PyMemAllocatorDomain

Add new structures:

* PyMemAllocator
* PyObjectArenaAllocator

Add new functions:

* PyMem_RawMalloc(), PyMem_RawRealloc(), PyMem_RawFree()
* PyMem_GetAllocator(), PyMem_SetAllocator()
* PyObject_GetArenaAllocator(), PyObject_SetArenaAllocator()
* PyMem_SetupDebugHooks()

Changes:

* PyMem_Malloc()/PyObject_Realloc() now always call malloc()/realloc(), instead
  of calling PyObject_Malloc()/PyObject_Realloc() in debug mode.
* PyObject_Malloc()/PyObject_Realloc() now falls back to
  PyMem_Malloc()/PyMem_Realloc() for allocations larger than 512 bytes.
* Redesign debug checks on memory block allocators as hooks, instead of using C
  macros

Victor Stinner 4d7056258b Issue #3329: Add new APIs to customize memory allocators
* Add a new PyMemAllocators structure
* New functions:

  - PyMem_RawMalloc(), PyMem_RawRealloc(), PyMem_RawFree(): GIL-free memory
    allocator functions
  - PyMem_GetRawAllocators(), PyMem_SetRawAllocators()
  - PyMem_GetAllocators(), PyMem_SetAllocators()
  - PyMem_SetupDebugHooks()
  - _PyObject_GetArenaAllocators(), _PyObject_SetArenaAllocators()

* Add unit test for PyMem_Malloc(0) and PyObject_Malloc(0)
* Add unit test for new get/set allocators functions
* PyObject_Malloc() now falls back on PyMem_Malloc() instead of malloc() if
  size is bigger than SMALL_REQUEST_THRESHOLD, and PyObject_Realloc() falls
  back on PyMem_Realloc() instead of realloc()
* PyMem_Malloc() and PyMem_Realloc() now always call malloc() and realloc(),
  instead of calling PyObject_Malloc() and PyObject_Realloc() in debug mode

  Issue #2620: Overflow checking when allocating or reallocating memory
  was not always being done properly in some python types and extension
  modules.  PyMem_MALLOC, PyMem_REALLOC, PyMem_NEW and PyMem_RESIZE have
  all been updated to perform better checks and places in the code that
  would previously leak memory on the error path when such an allocation
  failed have been fixed.
