- Add a custom allocator for STL objects. This fixes sandbox failures that

 were observed on some machines (in particular in 32bit mode).

- Some more changes to avoid calling into glibc when we can make a direct
 system call, instead. These particular call sites were unlikely to cause
 any problems. But it makes the code easier to audit if we avoid all
 unnecessary calls into glibc.

- In 64bit mode, gettimeofday() is handled by vsyscalls and tends to be cheap.
 In 32bit mode, it is just a regular system call. Some users rely on being
 able to call gettimeofday() at a very high rate (up to thousands of
 consecutive calls). Recognize this system call pattern and optimize for it.

- Add debugging option that allows us to warn about expensive system calls.
 In many cases, these warnings can then be used to optimize the sandboxed
 application.

- Fix compilation on newer versions of gcc.

- Changed the x86-32 version of the code that we use when intercepting
 system calls. Previously, we would use CALL to jump to the set of
 instructions that we had relocated. But we made the mistake of allowing
 relocation of instructions that reference %esp. This doesn't work, as
 CALL modifies the stack. We now avoid using CALL and instead jump
 directly. On x86-32 that requires the use of a PUSH/RET combination as
 there is no 32bit wide JMP instruction.
 The x86-64 version of the code was already written in a way that would
 avoid this particular problem.
 (I would like to thank Craig Schlenter for his exceptional detective
  work in tracking down the root cause of this bug!)

- For debugging purposes, injected a really small library (less than 4kB)
 and discovered that some of our memory map manipulations implicitly
 relied on mappings to be at least two pages long. Fixed the code that
 made this incorrect assumption.

- For really small libraries, the runtime linker can choose a different
 more compact layout. Our computation of the ASR offset did not know how
 to deal with that. Fixed by explicitly looking for a ".text" segment
 instead of looking for a PT_DYNAMIC section.

- Closed a file descriptor that we kept open longer than needed.

- Removed some unused code.

- Added copyright headers
