After ZBXNEXT-322 was implemented in r36765, the memory allocator started using more memory for internal purposes than it should.

Namely, consider the description of memory allocator at the beginning of src/libs/zbxmemory/memalloc.c. There it is described how a chunk looks like. At the beginning and at the end of the chunk there is the size of the chunk. Before r36765, it used to be 4 bytes on each side for a total of 8 bytes. Now, it is 8 bytes on each side for a total of 16 bytes. So each free and allocated chunk now uses 8 bytes more of memory.

The rationale for the change was that the maximum size for value cache is 64 GB, so 4 bytes is no longer enough to represent that free chunk size. However, since we never allocate more than 2 GB (which itself is extremely unlikely), we can split the initial free chunk of 64 GB into several smaller chunks of free memory.
