mrambacher 423538a816 Make MemoryAllocator into a Customizable class (#8980)
Summary:
- Make MemoryAllocator and its implementations into a Customizable class.
- Added a "DefaultMemoryAllocator" which uses new and delete
- Added a "CountedMemoryAllocator" that counts the number of allocs and free
- Updated the existing tests to use these new allocators
- Changed the memkind allocator test into a generic test that can test the various allocators.
- Added tests for creating all of the allocators
- Added tests to verify/create the JemallocNodumpAllocator using its options.

// Implementation details:
// The JemallocNodumpAllocator creates a dedicated jemalloc arena, and all
// allocations of the JemallocNodumpAllocator are through the same arena.
// The memory allocator hooks memory allocation of the arena, and calls
// madvise() with MADV_DONTDUMP flag to exclude the piece of memory from
// core dump. Side benefit of using single arena would be reduction of jemalloc
// metadata for some workloads.
//
// To mitigate mutex contention for using one single arena, jemalloc tcache
// (thread-local cache) is enabled to cache unused allocations for future use.
// The tcache normally incurs 0.5M extra memory usage per-thread. The usage
// can be reduced by limiting allocation sizes to cache.
