    libio: Avoid _allocate_buffer, _free_buffer function pointers [BZ #23236]
    
    These unmangled function pointers reside on the heap and could
    be targeted by exploit writers, effectively bypassing libio vtable
    validation.  Instead, we ignore these pointers and always call
    malloc or free.
    
    In theory, this is a backwards-incompatible change, but using the
    global heap instead of the user-supplied callback functions should
    have little application impact.  (The old libstdc++ implementation
    exposed this functionality via a public, undocumented constructor
    in its strstreambuf class.)
    
    (cherry picked from commit 4e8a6346cd3da2d88bbad745a1769260d36f2783)

Backported from the upstream release/2.27/master branch.
