zephyr/alloc: Add newlib-style allocator stub for C++ builds
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This is a weak stub for the Cadence libc's allocator (which is just a
newlib build).  It's traditionally been provided like this in SOF for
the benefit of C++ code where the standard library needs to link to a
working malloc() even if it will never call it.

Longer term this should be integrated as a working allocator, either
unified with the one here or in the Zephyr libc layer.  Zephyr already
provides a newlib-compatible _sbrk_r(), we just have to tell it to use
it when linking against Cadence libc.
