mozjemalloc's Valgrind annotations are bogus and, and mozjemalloc should never
be called when Valgrind is running.
This patch removes the annotations and adds an abort that is triggered if
jemalloc is initialized while running under Valgrind.

Immediately after landing it, I realized the above patch has a problem: it assumes that "running Valgrind" means "running Memcheck". But if you're running Cachegrind, for example, it's better to run with jemalloc enabled, because that's the standard configuration. So I removed the abort:
