hook jemalloc into glibc's malloc (without __malloc_initialize_hook)

We shouldn't need to use __malloc_initialize_hook because the hook functions will not call glibc malloc functions. This patch uses symbol interposing to set the 4 hooks.

With this patch, the initial crash of bug 469439 is avoided, but I'm having trouble testing with my setup here. I get a different (slightly later) crash with this patch but I seem to get the same crash without jemalloc, so it may just be related to the hackish way that I've installed NVIDIA's libGL.

I'd appreciate if someone can help me by testing this patch, please?
You'll need to explicitly remove OBJ-DIR/browser/app/firefox-bin before the build.
