581c785bf3 Update copyright dates with scripts/update-copyrights
I used these shell commands:

../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")

and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 7061 files FOO.

I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h,
support/tst-support-open-dev-null-range.c, and
sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen-vec.S, to work around the following
obscure pre-commit check failure diagnostics from Savannah.  I don't
know why I run into these diagnostics whereas others evidently do not.

remote: *** 912-#endif
remote: *** 913:
remote: *** 914-
remote: *** error: lines with trailing whitespace found
...
remote: *** error: sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/statx_cp.c: trailing lines

2d2d9f2b48 Move malloc hooks into a compat DSO
Remove all malloc hook uses from core malloc functions and move it
into a new library libc_malloc_debug.so.  With this, the hooks now no
longer have any effect on the core library.

libc_malloc_debug.so is a malloc interposer that needs to be preloaded
to get hooks functionality back so that the debugging features that
depend on the hooks, i.e. malloc-check, mcheck and mtrace work again.
Without the preloaded DSO these debugging features will be nops.
These features will be ported away from hooks in subsequent patches.

Similarly, legacy applications that need hooks functionality need to
preload libc_malloc_debug.so.

The symbols exported by libc_malloc_debug.so are maintained at exactly
the same version as libc.so.

Finally, static binaries will no longer be able to use malloc
debugging features since they cannot preload the debugging DSO.
