Installing new functions also makes flint_aligned_alloc and flint_aligned_free use the new alloc_func and free_func (with over-allocation).
The functions must be installed before FLINT allocates anything, or memory allocated by the old functions will be passed to the new free_func. The installed functions may return NULL on failure; flint_malloc then throws; free_func must accept NULL. GMP and MPFR use their own memory functions, which are set separately with mp_set_memory_functions; FLINT never mixes the two. See Custom allocators for the precise requirements.
