Mike Hommey 8b2a1911b2 Bug 1559379 - Export C++ allocation functions from mozglue on all platforms. r=froydnj
- On Android, we were already doing it, but using fallible allocations.
- On *nix, it probably doesn't make a difference, but can't hurt. For
  most things in Gecko, operator new/delete are inlined and thus
  replaced by direct calls to the underlying allocator functions
  (moz_xmalloc, malloc, etc.). This may have a benefit for some third
  party libraries that would otherwise go through libstdc++'s to
  eventually end up back into our allocator via the zone allocator
  on macOS and via the exported symbols on others.
- On Windows, because of how some CRT static libraries are, a non-inlined
  operator new (thanks to some disabled STL wrapping) would end up linked
  against the system malloc, causing problems.

Overall, this can only be better. This also reduces the number of places
where we define those functions.

And on Android, this means operator new within mozglue becomes infallible,
which is more consistent with everything else.

/*
* We implement the default operators new/delete as part of
* libmozalloc, replacing their definitions in libstdc++. The
* operator new* definitions in libmozalloc will never return a NULL
* pointer.
*
* Each operator new immediately below returns a pointer to memory
* that can be delete'd by any of
*
* (1) the matching infallible operator delete immediately below
* (2) the matching system |operator delete(void*, std::nothrow)|
* (3) the matching system |operator delete(void*) noexcept(false)|
*
* NB: these are declared |noexcept(false)|, though they will never
* throw that exception. This declaration is consistent with the rule
* that |::operator new() noexcept(false)| will never return NULL.
*
* NB: mozilla::fallible can be used instead of std::nothrow.
