Aaron Durbin 8bbd04ea8d libpayload: special case large memalign() requests
For memalign() requests the current allocator keeps metadata
about each chunk of aligned memory that copmrises the size
requested. For large allocations relative to the alignment
this can cause significant metadata overhead. Instead, consider
all memalign() requests whose size meets or exceeds 1KiB or
alignment that meets or exceeds 1KiB large requests.
These requests are handled specially to only allocate
the amount of memory required for the size and alignment
constraints by not allocating any metadata as the whole region
would be consumed by the request.

BUG=None
BRANCH=None
TEST=Built and tested various scenarios. Noted the ability to
     free() and properly coalesce the heap as expected.
