Before adding the unit tests that Ralf wrote, I find it useful to now
implement the renaming of modules already suggested on 2007-09-03 in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2007-09/msg00009.html>.
malloc -> malloc-gnu
calloc -> calloc-gnu
realloc -> realloc-gnu
Rationale: consistency with fnmatch-{posix,gnu} and getopt-{posix,gnu}.
At that time,
- Eric agreed after he had understood the proposal
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2007-09/msg00016.html>,
- Jim requested a deprecation mechanism so that the transition period
could last several months.
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2007-09/msg00017.html>.
- The other opinions were no strong preferences.
We have now the mechanism for notices and deprecation (since
2007-09-09 and 2008-11-02, respectively). I'm therefore implementing the
renaming, like we did for 'getopt-gnu' a year ago.

Rename module 'malloc' -> 'malloc-gnu'.
* modules/malloc-gnu: New file, copied from modules/malloc.
* modules/malloc: Convert to a redirection to 'malloc-gnu'. Mark as
obsolete.
* modules/argp (Depends-on): Update.
* modules/regex (Depends-on): Update.
* doc/posix-functions/malloc.texi: Update.
* NEWS: Mention the change.
