Add mitigated bug classes in the security comparison #187

Description

@jvoisin

Currently, the security comparison document only lists security features, but it would be nice to list killed/mitigated/… bug classes and primitives, like:

  • Cross-chunk linear overflows
  • Cross-chunk linear underflows
  • Cross-area linear overflows
  • Cross-area linear underflows
  • Non-linear overflows
  • Non-linear underflows
  • Double-free
  • Invalid free
  • User-after-free
  • Heap spraying
  • Heap feng-shui
  • Sized delete mismatch
  • Leaks to bypass ASLR
  • memcpy/memmove/… underflow/overflow

Bonus for adding test cases in mimalloc-bench
