Add a couple of (currently disabled) strategies for trying to avoid using too much ram in memory pools: prefer putting new cells in almost-full chunks, and be willing to free the last empty chunk if we have not needed it for a while.  Also add better output to mp_pool_log_status to track how many mallocs a given memory pool strategy is saving us, so we can tune the mempool parameters.

       bandwidthburst values.
     - Give more descriptive well-formedness errors for out-of-range
       hidden service descriptor/protocol versions.
+    - Make memory debugging output describe more about history of cell

   o Minor features (security):
     - Be slightly more paranoid about overwriting sensitive memory on free,
