You should remove the Doug Lea malloc detection completely

I expect such an approach is too much to expect to fold into Emacs 25,
which is close to release. We could try something along those lines for
the next major Emacs release, but that won't be for a while.

In this case, I suggest *not* to revert the __malloc_initialize_hook removal because if we put it back in, Emacs will not use its internal malloc, and we get no additional test coverage compared to we had before the removal.
