> Please review this change that adds a HotSpot wrapper for <cstdlib>.  It also
> includes the forbidden function declarations for functions declared there,
> moving them from forbiddenFunctions.hpp and friends.
> 
> The AIX-specific workaround for its macro-based renaming of malloc/calloc is
> also moved to this wrapper, so there is a single location for it. Also cleaned
> it up a bit, based on further investigation of the problem.
> 
> Also changed uses of `<cstdlib>` and `<stdlib.h>` to include the wrapper instead.
> There are still a couple of includes of `<stdlib.h>` in the hotspot directory,
> because they can't use the hotspot wrapper: os/windows/include/jvm_md.h and
> share/adlc/adlc.hpp.  I looked at removing the one in windows jvm_md.h, but
> there are a lot of dependencies on that implicit include in non-HotSpot code.
> 
> While updating to use the wrapper, I also did a small amount of include
> cleanup here and there.  The changes around immediate_aarch64.hpp are perhaps
> a little less trivial than I should have made here.
> 
> Testing: mach5 tier1
> 
> This should probably be retested by aix port maintainer folks, although I
> don't think I made any relevant changes since you last tested it.
> 
> This change also resolves:
