The malloc checks can be disabled using the TEST_NO_MALLOC_CHECK
variable, either from the environment or command line of an
'make test' invocation. In order to allow the malloc checks to be
disabled from the 'config.mak' file, we add TEST_NO_MALLOC_CHECK
to the environment using an export directive.

Hi Junio,
Now that the malloc checks have been enabled, running the tests has
become somewhat noisy with "malloc: using debugging hooks" messages
spewing continuously to the terminal. [I usually run the tests like
so:
ramsay$ time $(make test >test-out 2>&1)
malloc: using debugging hooks
malloc: using debugging hooks
...
malloc: using debugging hooks
real 16m11.408s
user 5m17.412s
sys 4m54.786s
ramsay$
]
strace tells me that the controlling terminal, /dev/tty, is being
opened directly in order to write these messages. I find this
annoying, so I tried to disable the malloc checks from config.mak ...
Note that I decided not to write the TEST_NO_MALLOC_CHECK setting
to the GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS file, since I prefer to enable/disable
the malloc checks myself when running the test script directly.
ATB,
Ramsay Jones
