Rich Felker 72141795d4 return chunks split off by memalign using __bin_chunk instead of free
this change serves multiple purposes:

1. it ensures that static linking of memalign-family functions will
pull in the system malloc implementation, thereby causing link errors
if an attempt is made to link the system memalign functions with a
replacement malloc (incomplete allocator replacement).

2. it eliminates calls to free that are unpaired with allocations,
which are confusing when setting breakpoints or tracing execution.

as a bonus, making __bin_chunk external may discourage aggressive and
unnecessary inlining of it.

    musl libc

musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.

The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.

For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
