Subject: [PATCH nolibc 59/61] tools/nolibc/stdlib: Implement `malloc()`, `calloc()`, `realloc()` and `free()`

From: Ammar Faizi <ammarfaizi2@...weeb.org>

Implement basic dynamic allocator functions. These functions are
currently only available on architectures that have nolibc mmap()
syscall implemented. These are not a super-fast memory allocator,
but at least they can satisfy basic needs for having heap without
libc.
