Some architectures(DEC Alpha as a main outlier, but x86 may behave that
way by setting flags) raise traps on unaligned operations, which can be
either costly(having to talk to the kernel, which may have to emulate
the read) or could cause program termination.
Also adds a basic memory interval for checking if a pointer has any
business living within the heap. Most systems separate those anyways so
it avoids doing potentially dangerous operations.
I still haven't tested on LibreSSL (Debian doesn't seem to actually like
it all that much), but manuals seems to state that they're the same in
that regard. If anyone is up to verify, let me know so that I'm aware
it's safe to merge it.
Currently doing a test run on another project of mine to find out how
stable it is.
Next up(more long-termed): Faster JSON parsing than just plaintext!
As it turns out, it *was* odd. Not doing that will cause *someone* to
spend several hours fixing a SSL problem around a bridge they're making,
which needs to download media from a server and can't from *some* for an
undiscernable reason, causing said person to start going insane before
realising that Cytoplasm didn't set the server name properly.
This still however removes `MemoryIterate' from allocations, because
it's a real performance pickle. From my tests parsing large sync
replies, this commit is near instant(pv reports 23MiB/s on a 2MB sync).
Still need a good compromise along MemoryIterate(like maybe find out a
clever way to only make it run on a small subset, or maybe just randomly
run it from time to time, or maybe just roll without it except on some
soft of debug mode????)
Cytoplasm's Db currently doesn't sanitate database entries consistently, and this PR should be a quick fix for this.

These are installed to the system and some compilers may not find the
headers in the current directory if we don't do this, even though
according to the C standard, either should work.
