xref issue #822 and issue #823 another extension from the original discussion was DrMalloc: malloc/free interception. this would be alloc.c and perhaps also heap.c. would depend on DrSyscall but otherwise is already fairly well-contained.

as we decided, DrSyscall does not indicate which syscall map memory, so
DrMalloc should do that. this is not trivial, as some unusual syscalls map
memory: (e.g., NtMapCMFModule and NtGdiCreateDIBSection).

we want this for Umbra.
