Paul Biggar ext:(%2C%20Jason%20Evans%20%3Cjasone%40canonware.com%3E%20and%20Dale%20Kim%20%3Cdalekim1%40illinois.edu%3E) b960b62118 Bug 414946 (part 1): Fix jemalloc on Mac, but leave disabled (r=pavlov)
Overwrite the OSX default zone allocator, taking into account the malloc_zone_t
version (supported versions are 3, 6, and 8) for Leopard, Snow Leopard and
Lion. jemalloc can be dynamically disabled for unknown malloc_zone_t versions,
for OSX 10.8 and beyond.

The changeset does not enable jemalloc, to allow for easy disabling if there's
a problem. It will be enabled in the next changeset.

This should be a 15-20% improvement in memory usage.
