        Log: New sample config files.
             Also add usemallocwrap to the ARM Cross config.sh - I'm guessing that
             as this is the only new symbol, it should be sufficient to make it
             work.

             Reorder the description of what to do, to start with the most common

             hv_clear_placeholders now manipulates the linked lists directly, rather
             than using the iterator interface and calling hv_delete

             special casing related to placeholders.

             Now hv_delete is able to ingore placeholders.

             Comment to record why we can't clear placeholders in hsplit
             
             [ 22391]
             My re-implementation of hv_clear_placeholders was buggy - not sure why
             the tests still passed. Fixed.
             
             [ 22393]
             In hsplit, if a normal hash has placeholders then clear them before
             splitting. We can do this safely because Storable ensures hsplit is
             not called while it builds restricted hashes (actually any hashes)
             This change may not make things faster, but now we have the choice.
