3efe6e4176 remove ei_new_allocator
remove corresponding part of test_dynalloc

fd831d5a12 * implement handmade aligned malloc, fast but always wastes 16 bytes of memory.
only used as fallback for now, needs benchmarking.
  also notice that some malloc() impls do waste memory to keep track of alignment
  and other stuff (check msdn's page on malloc).
* expand test_dynalloc to cover low level aligned alloc funcs. Remove the old
  #ifdef EIGEN_VECTORIZE...
* rewrite the logic choosing an aligned alloc, some new stuff:
  * malloc() already aligned on freebsd and windows x64 (plus apple already)
  * _mm_malloc() used only if EIGEN_VECTORIZE
  * posix_memalign: correct detection according to man page (not necessarily
    linux specific), don't attempt to declare it if the platform didn't declare it
    (there had to be a reason why it didn't declare it, right?)

eb7dcbbfce EIGEN_MAKE_ALIGNED_OPERATOR_NEW didn't actually need to get the class
name as parameter

1d52bd4cad the big memory changes. the most important changes are:
ei_aligned_malloc now really behaves like a malloc
 (untyped, doesn't call ctor)
ei_aligned_new is the typed variant calling ctor
EIGEN_MAKE_ALIGNED_OPERATOR_NEW now takes the class name as parameter

f52d119b9c Solve a big issue with data alignment and dynamic allocation:
* add a WithAlignedOperatorNew class with overloaded operator new
* make Matrix (and Quaternion, Transform, Hyperplane, etc.) use it
  if needed such that "*(new Vector4) = xpr" does not failed anymore.
* Please: make sure your classes having fixed size Eigen's vector
  or matrice attributes inherit WithAlignedOperatorNew
* add a ei_new_allocator STL memory allocator to use with STL containers.
  This allocator really calls operator new on your types (unlike GCC's
  new_allocator). Example:
  std::vector<Vector4f> data(10);
  will segfault if the vectorization is enabled, instead use:
  std::vector<Vector4f,ei_new_allocator<Vector4f> > data(10);
NOTE: you only have to worry if you deal with fixed-size matrix types
with "sizeof(matrix_type)%16==0"...
