Change phkmalloc so that the page directory is now floating and allocated

via mmap() up around the shared library area.  Previously the directory
was allocated from space from it's own memory pool.  Because of the way it
was being extended on processes with large malloced data segments (ie: inn)
once the page directory was extended for some reason, it was not possible
to lower the heap size any more to return pages to the OS.
(If my understanding is correct, page directory expansion occurs at 4MB,
12MB, 20MB, 28MB, etc.)  I was seeing INN allocate a large amount of short
term memory, pushing it over the 28MB mark, and once it's transient demands
hit 28MB, it never freed it's pages and swap space again.)

I've been running this in my libc for about a month...

Also, seperate MALLOC_STATS from EXTRA_SANITY..  I found it useful to call
malloc_dump() from within INN from a ctlinnd command to see where the hell
all the memory was going.. :-)  I've left MALLOC_STATS enabled, as it has
no run-time or data storage cost.
