Comment (by pramsey):

 I think renaming `rt_init_allocators ` is completely valid, as that
 function name is actually a very arbitrary wrapper of the function
 actually doing the work, `rt_set_handlers`. In fact, you'll find other
 `rt_init_allocators ` in places like raster2pgsql, it's just a
 convenience, so why not rename it?

 Also, I see no reason why we cannot retrofit the older 2.2 and 2.1
 releases to not use the lazy-loading approach to initializing allocators
 and do it explicitly, it's a relatively small change and everything
 regresses fine. Since rtpostgis is not a shared library, it's not like we
 have any external dependency issues on changing the way it works, even in
 a patch release.
