[sr-dev] [kamailio/kamailio] support valgrind when *_MALLOC is used (#949)

I've restricted memcheck to pkg only, and also benefited from the "red zone" feature of memcheck: an empty zone between each chunk that will trigger an error in memcheck if it's accessed. This way, it's easier to catch a memory error exactly when it happens.
Executing this code (new function in the **malloc_test** module):
```C
static int mt_pkg_overflow_f(struct sip_msg* msg, char *p1,char *p2) {
	int i;
	unsigned long *a;

	a = pkg_malloc(1024 * sizeof(unsigned long));

	if (!a) {
		LM_ERR("no more pkg\n");
		return -1;
	}

	*(a - 1) = 0xdeadbeef;
	*(a + 1024) = 0xdeadc0de;
	for (i = 0 ; i < 1024; i++) {
		a[i] = (long)i;
	}

	return 1;
}
```
immediately triggers these errors:
```

```

The custom naming of the blocks ("fragment data") and the offset reported do not work as I expect: I'd expect the fist error to happen in a block named "fragment header" at its end and the last one in "fragment data" at its end too, so either my expectations are wrong or my code is.

Also I did not cover the instrumentation of the memory join code yet, so this should only be correct when **mem_join=0**.
