Fix the way malloc debug returns info.
When I rewrote malloc debug, I accidentally thought that each
value returned in the info buffer contained the number of backtrace
frames in the backtrace. This was incorrect, it should have been
the total number of allocations with the same backtrace.
This is a temporary fix that sets that value to 1. The better fix is
to de-dupe backtraces and then return all allocations of the same size
with the same backtrace.
I updated the documents to describe this.
Bug: 31854476
Test: Unit tests pass.

+incorrectly set to the number of frames in the backtrace.
+Each *uintptr\_t* is a pc of the callstack. If the total number

The calls from within the malloc debug library are automatically removed.
For 32 bit systems, *size\_t* and *uintptr\_t* are both 4 byte values.
