    xmalloc: add a Kconfig option to poison free pool memory
    
    This patch adds XMEM_POOL_POISON to the Kconfig DEBUG options. If set,
    free blocks (greater than MIN_BLOCK_SIZE) will be poisoned with 0xAA
    bytes which will then be verified when memory is subsequently allocated.
    This can help in spotting heap corruption, particularly use-after-free.
