attempt to handle steady-state mallocations better
* libguile/gc-malloc.c (scm_realloc): Call the new
scm_gc_register_allocation() here. If we have to collect, do a
GC_gcollect_and_unmap.
* libguile/gc.c (scm_gc_register_allocation): Add a routine to track
steady-state mallocation, and cause gc to run if there is a high
mallocation rate.
(adjust_gc_frequency): Reset the bytes-until-GC countdown timer.
