Add mallinfo2 function that support sizes >= 4GB.

The current int type can easily overflow for allocation of more
than 4GB.

 This structure type is used to return information about the dynamic
 memory allocator.  It contains the following members:
 
 @table @code

+@item size_t arena
 This is the total size of memory allocated with @code{sbrk} by
 @code{malloc}, in bytes.
 
-@item int ordblks

 This is the number of chunks not in use.  (The memory allocator

 carves them up to satisfy individual @code{malloc} requests;

+@item size_t hblkhd
 This is the total size of memory allocated with @code{mmap}, in bytes.
 
-@item int usmblks
+@item size_t usmblks
 This field is unused and always 0.
 
-@item int fsmblks

+@item size_t uordblks
 This is the total size of memory occupied by chunks handed out by

-@item int fordblks
+@item size_t fordblks
 This is the total size of memory occupied by free (not in use) chunks.
 
-@item int keepcost
+@item size_t keepcost
 This is the size of the top-most releasable chunk that normally
 borders the end of the heap (i.e., the high end of the virtual address
 space's data segment).
