MINOR: debug: add a balance of alloc - free at the end of the memstats dump

When digging into suspected memory leaks, it's cumbersome to count the
number of allocations and free calls. Here we're adding a summary at the
end of the sum of allocs minus the sum of frees, excluding realloc since
we can't know how much it releases upon each call. This means that when
doing many realloc+free the count may be negative but in practice there
are very few reallocs so that's not a problem. Also the size/call is signed
and corresponds to the average size allocated (e.g. leaked) per call.

It seems to work reasonably well for now:
