Windows has native heap management functions [1] so there is no need to play
with file mappings like `mmap()`.
`malloc(size)` becomes `HeapAlloc(GetProcessHeap(), 0, size)`, and
`calloc(nmemb, size)` becomes `HeapAlloc(GetProcessHeap(), HEAP_ZERO_MEMORY,
nmemb * size)` except for the overflow check, and
`realloc(ptr, size)` becomes `ptr ? HeapReAlloc(GetProcessHeap(), 0, ptr, size)
: HeapAlloc(GetProcessHeap(), 0, size)`, and
`free(ptr)` becomes `ptr && HeapFree(GetProcessHeap(), ptr)`.
