The test case "test_multi_alloc_statistics" was brittle in that it did
some allocations and frees and then checked statistics without
considering the initial state of the malloc heaps. This meant that,
depending on what allocations/frees were done beforehand, the test can
sometimes fail.

We can improve resiliency by running the test using a new malloc heap,
which means it is unaffected by any previous allocations.

Bugzilla ID: 1579
Fixes: a40a1f8231b4 ("app: various tests update")
Cc: stable@dpdk.org

v4:
* added cleanup support in case of failure, to allow multiple runs of
  the test in a single session.

v3:
* switched allocation from mmap to malloc allowing it work on windows
* use explicit alignment of the malloc return value to ensure memory
  added to heap is page-aligned.

v2:
* removed unnecessary extra include
* only added new code for non-windows, since using mmap for allocation.
