Hum, for the PGO/LTO build, I may document that clang uses a different linker.

The PYMALLOC_DEBUG macro is still implied by Py_DEBUG and documented in Misc/SpecialBuilds.txt, but it is no longer used in Objects/obmalloc.c. It should be simply removed.

By the way, I'm not sure if anyone uses the __ltrace__ feature of ceval.c for debugging purpose.
