    gsyncd / geo-rep: Initialize default memory accounting
    
    commit 7fba3a8 enables memory accounting by default. Since
    geo-replication binary (gsyncd) does not declare a memory
    accounting function, call like GF_{CALLOC,MALLOC} result
    int asserts.
    
    This patch initializes default memory accounting.

    libgfchangelog: memory accounting intialization
    
    Needed as memory accounting turned ON by default now.
    Without this, GF_{CALLOC,MALLOC} calls assert.
