PATCH: add malloc function attribute to rts malloc functions

[Duncan Coutts]

http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.3.3/gcc/Function-Attributes.html
The gcc manual says:  

malloc
        The malloc attribute is used to tell the compiler that a
        function may be treated as if it were the malloc function. The
        compiler assumes that calls to malloc result in pointers that
        cannot alias anything. This will often improve optimization.

Note the malloc attribute has only been around since gcc 3.xx, hence the
extra GNUC3_ATTRIBUTE that tests for gcc version >= 3.

So I guess it can't hurt and might even help. It even compiles! (as is
running make in the rts directory does not fail - I've not done a full
build.)
