* mu-util.c: use G_SLICE=always-malloc for all non-Linux systems 

apparently, g_slice_* have problems on MacOS, like seen on FreeBSD before. So for now,
  we just fallback to normal malloc on those system. Not sure if this is a bug in g_slice
  or something mu. Until we find the reason, we'll shut off g_slice so at least we
  avoid crashes at the price of some efficiency.
