No major changes, just add some checks in a few key places, and
a new parameter to pass around.
Also, add a function to check malloc element for physical
contiguousness. For now, assume hugepage memory is always
contiguous, while non-hugepage memory will be checked.

We shouldn't ever panic in libraries, let alone in EAL, so

Malloc heap is now a doubly linked list, so it's now possible to
iterate over each malloc element regardless of its state.

Down the line, we will need to do everything from the heap as any
alloc or free may trigger alloc/free OS memory, which would involve
growing/shrinking heap.

The deprecated name is kept as an alias to avoid breaking the API.

When populating a mempool with a virtual memory area, the mempool
library expects to be able to get the physical address of each page.
When started with --no-huge, the physical addresses may not be available
because the pages are not locked in memory. It sometimes returns
RTE_BAD_PHYS_ADDR, which makes the mempool_populate() function to fail.
This was working before the commit cdc242f260 ("eal/linux: support
running as unprivileged user"), because rte_mem_virt2phy() was returning
0 instead of RTE_BAD_PHYS_ADDR, which was seen as a valid physical
address.
Since --no-huge is a debug function that breaks the support of physical
drivers, always set physical addresses to RTE_BAD_PHYS_ADDR in memzones
or in rte_mem_virt2phy(), and ensure that mempool won't complain in that
case.

In the current memory hierarchy, memsegs are groups of physically
contiguous hugepages, memzones are slices of memsegs and malloc further
slices memzones into smaller memory chunks.
This patch modifies malloc so it partitions memsegs instead of memzones.
Thus memzones would call malloc internally for memory allocation while
maintaining its ABI.
During initialization malloc sets all available memory as part of the heaps.
CONFIG_RTE_MALLOC_MEMZONE_SIZE was used to specify the default memory
block size to expand the heap. The option is not used/relevant anymore,
so we remove it.
Remove free_memseg field from internal mem config structure as it is
not used anymore.
Also remove code in ivshmem that was setting up free_memseg on init.
It would be possible to free memzones and therefore any other structure
based on memzones, ie. mempools

Move malloc inside eal and create a new section in MAINTAINERS file for
Memory Allocation in EAL.
Create a dummy malloc library to avoid breaking applications that have
librte_malloc in their DT_NEEDED entries.
This is the first step towards using malloc to allocate memory directly
from memsegs. Thus, memzones would allocate memory through malloc,
allowing to free memzones.
