Issue #26516:

* Add PYTHONMALLOC environment variable to set the Python memory
  allocators and/or install debug hooks.
* PyMem_SetupDebugHooks() can now also be used on Python compiled in release
  mode.
* The PYTHONMALLOCSTATS environment variable can now also be used on Python
  compiled in release mode. It now has no effect if set to an empty string.
* In debug mode, debug hooks are now also installed on Python memory allocators
  when Python is configured without pymalloc.

number of tests, all because of the codecs/_multibytecodecs issue described
here (it's not a Py3K issue, just something Py3K discovers):
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-April/064051.html

Hye-Shik Chang promised to look for a fix, so no need to fix it here. The
tests that are expected to break are:

test_codecencodings_cn
test_codecencodings_hk
test_codecencodings_jp
test_codecencodings_kr
test_codecencodings_tw
test_codecs
test_multibytecodec

This merge fixes an actual test failure (test_weakref) in this branch,
though, so I believe merging is the right thing to do anyway.

Document more info about the benefits of configuring without
pymalloc when running valgrind

a typo.
