(perl #128954) improved hints for Hurd

(a) This enables the malloc wrap also on Hurd, as used on Linux
already; Perl's own test suite passed with it, and I see no reason to
diverge from the behaviour on Linux and kFreeBSD. I'm not sure whether
it affects the ABI though, so it might be safe only for the upcoming
perl 5.24 in experimental (since that breaks the ABI anyway)

(b) This improves the reporting of the GNU libc used, so it's shown in
`perl -V` (as libc value, instead of the currently empty string).
