a simple wrapper around jemalloc to track allocator usage by thread name in metrics.
Idea is to get a better idea why node crashes when OOM occurs (at least which threads were allocating memory).
This is for dev use only.
Problem
If/when agave starts leaking memory (or just clogging up some channel) it may be tricky to find where memory allocations are happening that cause the crash. Tracking per-pool allocations is not a replacement for valgrind, but has the advantage of fairly small overhead & integration into metrics.
Summary of Changes
Added feature-flag gated custom wrapper around jemalloc that tracks memory usage, grouped by thread pool name.
