Change default allocator #25

We may make Lua run faster if we change default allocator. (This is
not for first Lua Alchemy versions of course.)

Lua allocates a lot of small fixed-size chunks for tables.

One allocator that works nice with Lua (per user reports) is dmalloc:

Need to experiment with that once benchmarks would be ready.
