Switch to using the system allocator
In the past we have already taken a couple of steps to reduce the size of the final binary, arguing that binary size is the metric of most relevance for the program at hand: - the memory footprint is close to irrelevant because the program does not stay resident in memory for long - execution speed is likely dominated by communication with the Nitrokey itself, which is a slow I/O device With that in mind, this change decreases the binary size further by swapping the default allocator we use (typically jemalloc) with the system allocator (which is malloc based on Unix systems). Given that we are by no means allocation sensitive, there is no point in wasting binary size on something that adds no value. This change decreases the binary size by another 324 KiB (for an already stripped release mode binary).
