Deprecate most of debug-memory
Fixes #8322
The leak-checking (and backtrace option, on some platforms) provided
by crypto-mdebug and crypto-mdebug-backtrace have been mostly neutered;
only the "make malloc fail" capability remains. OpenSSL recommends using
the compiler's leak-detection instead.
The OPENSSL_DEBUG_MEMORY environment variable is no longer used.
CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(), CRYPTO_set_mem_debug(), CRYPTO_mem_leaks(),
CRYPTO_mem_leaks_fp() and CRYPTO_mem_leaks_cb() return a failure code.
CRYPTO_mem_debug_{malloc,realloc,free}() have been removed. All of the
above are now deprecated.
Merge (now really small) mem_dbg.c into mem.c
