fix calloc when __simple_malloc implementation is used
previously, calloc's implementation encoded assumptions about the implementation of malloc, accessing a size_t word just prior to the allocated memory to determine if it was obtained by mmap to optimize out the zero-filling. when __simple_malloc is used (static linking a program with no realloc/free), it doesn't matter if the result of this check is wrong, since all allocations are zero-initialized anyway. but the access could be invalid if it crosses a page boundary or if the pointer is not sufficiently aligned, which can happen for very small allocations. this patch fixes the issue by moving the zero-fill logic into malloc.c with the full malloc, as a new function named __malloc0, which is provided by a weak alias to __simple_malloc (which always gives zero-filled memory) when the full malloc is not in use.
