When malloc is not available, this will set #define malloc rpl_malloc
which is implemented only inside libcheck, and not everything will link
to libcheck.
We don't really need to care too much about how malloc is implemented
and we don't care about platforms that don't implement malloc.
This brings us up-to-speed with the latest compatibility code from upstream
check git. For completeness, we do all the checks that upstream check does, but
we skip the snprintf/vsnprintf code because it's not straightforward (involves
running code and that is bad for cross-compilation) and not necessary for the
platforms we support anyway.
If someone really wants this, they can uncomment this and copy the relevant
checks from the check git repository.

Makes it clearer which files are actually used in libcheck and which are used
for cross-platform compatibility. This is going to be especially useful when we
add all the libcompat fallback code that upstream libcheck has which will add
about 6 new files.

Previously GStreamer got access to the libcheck interface by including
libs/gst/check/check.h which in turn included internal-check.h in the
same directory. internal-check.h was generated by copying
libs/gst/check/libcheck/check.h which in turn was generated from
check.h.in in the same directory. In this case generating
libs/gst/check/libcheck/check.h is unnecessary, in addition this file
was accidentally distributed in generated project tarballs.
Now libs/gst/check/internal-check.h is generated directly from
libs/gst/check/libcheck/check.h.in by configure. This means that the
libcheck source must include internal-check.h instead of the previously
generated libs/gst/check/libcheck/check.h. However the unnecessary
intermediate step is now skipped.

Reintroduced patches:
* Make sure that fail_if(1) actually fails
from commit 9f99d056a2
New patches due to updated libcheck (based on 0.9.14):
* Checks in m4/check-checks.m4 to cater for new dependencies
* Conditional compile-time compat POSIX fallbacks for libcheck
* Avoid relative paths for libcheck header files
* Make timer_create() usage depend on posix timers, not librt
* Rely on default AX_PTHREAD behavior to allow HAVE_PTHREAD to be used
when checking for types and functions (like clock_gettime())
* Avoid double declaration of clock_gettime() when availabe outside of
librt by making compat clock_gettime() declaration conditional
* check 0.9.9 renamed _fail_unless() and 0.9.12 later renamed it again
to _ck_assert_failed(), so ASSERT_{CRITICAL,WARNING}() now calls this
function
* Remove libcheck fallback infrastructure for malloc(), realloc(),
gettimeofday() and snprintf() since either they appear to be
available or they introduce even more dependencies.
The result is an embedded check in gstreamer that has been tested by
running check tests in core, -base, -good, -bad, -ugly and rtsp-server
on Linux, OSX and Windows.
