return chunks split off by memalign using __bin_chunk instead of free
this change serves multiple purposes: 1. it ensures that static linking of memalign-family functions will pull in the system malloc implementation, thereby causing link errors if an attempt is made to link the system memalign functions with a replacement malloc (incomplete allocator replacement). 2. it eliminates calls to free that are unpaired with allocations, which are confusing when setting breakpoints or tracing execution. as a bonus, making __bin_chunk external may discourage aggressive and unnecessary inlining of it.
