Upstream patch to remove abort() that occur during memory overflow

Dear developers,

Below we at the Julia team would love to see the following patch upstreamed:

https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/deps/patches/gmp_alloc_overflow_func.patch


Rationale:

Currently GMP aborts which sends SIGBART and forcibly aborts Julia or any linked program. With the above patch,  GMP will instead throw a  __GMP_ALLOC_OVERFLOW_FUNC
Instead of forcibly aborting


Thanks for your consideration.

Best,
Mustafa
