Seems to be introduced by 99e5024e97.
The crash is caused by the difference in the expected alignment
of the `uiPopupMenu` which is 16 bytes and the actual alignment
returned by the `MEM_mallocN()` which is 8 bytes due to the memory
head.
Now made it so that `MEM_new()` can be used for types with any
alignment.

This is a more C++ friendly version MEM_calloc_arrayN, like MEM_cnew is for
MEM_callocN. For cases where data structures are still C and Vector or Array
don't work.
Instead of using macros like GLIBC we can use the CMake build
systems internal functions to check if some header or functions are
present on the running system's libc.
Add ./build_files/cmake/have_features.cmake to add checks for
platform features which can be used to set defines for source
files that require them.

We have plenty of sorta generic functions, that allocate memory with
some generic name for debugging. When such a function is called and the
memory leaks, it may be unclear which call to it allocated the unfreed
memory (and thus which execution path leads to the leak).
The added function is only available if `NDEBUG` is not defined.

Simplify logic for freeing a NULL pointer. While no null-pointer
de-reference was performed, this wasn't as so obvious as the pointer
was passed to MEM_lockfree_allocN_len before checking for NULL.
NOTE: T99744 claimed the a NULL pointer free was a vulnerability,
while I can't see evidence for this - exiting early makes it clearer
the memory isn't accessed.
*Details*
- Add MEMHEAD_LEN macro, avoids redundant NULL check.
- Use "UNLIKELY(..)" hint's for error cases
(freeing NULL pointer and checking if `leak_detector_has_run`).
Solved by introducing introducing a variant of MEM_cnew which behaves
as a copy-constructor for a trivial types.
Alternative approach would be to surround DNA structs with clang/gcc
diagnostics push/modify/pop so that implicitly defined constructors
and copy operators are allowed to access deprecated fields.
The downside of the DNA approach is that it will require some way to
easily apply diagnostics modifications to many structs, which is not
possible currently.
The newly added MEM_cnew has other good usecases, so is easiest to
use this route, at least for now.

Use a shorter/simpler license convention, stops the header taking so
much space.

Initialization with `MEM_new()` depends a lot on the initialization rules
of C++, which are not obvious. Calling it with no arguments to be passed
to the constructor may cause the resulting object to be implicitly 0
initialized (or parts of it). This can have an impact on performance
sensitive code, so it's something to document.
Alternatively we could enforce default initialization (as opposed to the
value initalization that happens now), but this could cause
uninitialized memory in a way that isn't obvious either. This is a
possible source of bugs, so Jacques and I decided against it.
Using the `MEM_*` API from C++ code was a bit annoying:
* When converting C to C++ code, one often has to add a type cast on
returned `void *`. That leads to having the same type name three times
in the same line. This patch reduces the amount to two and removes the
`sizeof(...)` from the line.
* The existing alternative of using `OBJECT_GUARDED_NEW` looks a out
of place compared to other allocation methods. Sometimes
`MEM_CXX_CLASS_ALLOC_FUNCS` can be used when structs are defined
in C++ code. It doesn't look great but it's definitely better. The downside
is that it makes the name of the allocation less useful. That's because
the same name is used for all allocations of a type, independend of
where it is allocated.
This patch introduces three new functions: `MEM_new`, `MEM_cnew` and
`MEM_delete`. These cover the majority of use cases (array allocation is
not covered).
The `OBJECT_GUARDED_*` macros are removed because they are not
needed anymore.

- Nest compositor pages under the compositor module
- Nest GUI, DNA/RNA & externformats modules under Blender.
- Remove modules from intern which no longer exist.
- Add intern modules (atomic, eigen, glew-mx, libc_compat, locale,
numaapi, rigidbody, sky, utfconv).
- Use 'intern_' prefix for intern modules since some of the modules
use generic terms such as locale & atomic.
Add comment explaining `MEM_dupallocN` is NULL-safe, in that it returns
NULL when it receives a NULL pointer. This is currently true for both
implementations of the function (`MEM_lockfree_dupallocN` and
`MEM_guarded_dupallocN`), and will be expected of other implementations
as well.
No functional changes.
All platforms support the proper format string and it's already used in
various other places.

Instead of submitting tons of tiny IO syscalls, we can speed things up
significantly by `mmap`ing the .blend file into virtual memory and directly
accessing it.
In my local testing, this speeds up loading the Dweebs file with all its
linked files from 19sec to 10sec (on Linux).
As far as I can see, this should be supported on Linux, OSX and BSD.
For Windows, a second code path uses `CreateFileMapping` and
`MapViewOfFile` to achieve the same result.

Previously the lock-free tests were actually testing guarded allocator
because the main entry point of tests was switching allocator to the
guarded one.
There seems to be no allocations happening between the initialization
sequence and the fixture's SetUp(), so easiest seems to be just to
switch to lockfree implementation in the fixture's SetUp().
The test are passing locally, so the "should work" has high chance
of actually being truth :)

Previously the only way to use lockfree implementation was to start
executable and never switch to guarded allocator.
Surely, it is not possible to switch implementation once any allocation
did happen, but some tests are desired to test lock-free implementation
of the allocator. Those tests did not operate properly because the main
entry point of tests are forcing guarded allocator to help catching
bugs.
This change makes it possible for those tests to ensure they do operate
on lock-free implementation.
There is no functional changes here, preparing boilerplate for an
upcoming work on the allocator tests themselves.
Expand unit test for `BKE_fcurve_active_keyframe_index()` to test edge
cases better.
This also introduces a new test macro `EXPECT_BLI_ASSERT()`, which can be
used to test that an assertion fails successfully.
No functional changes to actual Blender code.
The ffmpeg, guardedalloc and blenlib are quite isolated and putting them in
their own executable separate from blender_test is faster for development than
linking the entire blender_tests executable.
For Cycles, this also bundles all the unit tests into one executable.
