Revamp malloc.3 by reordering the sections and rewriting parts.
The old man page had a lot of useful information, but it was all mixed together which made it difficult to reference. The main theme in this commit is that the sections are more focused: * DESCRIPTION describes the overall behavior * RETURN VALUES describes what it may return (including implementation defined values) * EXAMPLES shows why we recently started an audit on malloc and realloc usage in the tree. * Added CAVEATS which describes what is implementation defined, gotchas and security implications of misusing these functions * Added IDIOMS which describes how these functions should or should not be used The MALLOC_OPTIONS section was left unchanged. Function names were added to DIAGNOSTICS and STANDARDS. The MALLOC_OPTIONS and DIAGNOSTICS sections were pushed down in the page so more pertinent information is higher up. This has gone through several revisions thanks to input from deraadt@ and schwarze@. Ingo also helped with some of the mandoc formatting. OK schwarze@ (as far as it is a good starting point and the code snippets look ok)
