This change adds support for writing pid namespaces to the filename of a
heap profile. When running with namespaces pids may reused across
namespaces and if mounts are shared where profiles are written there is
not a great way to differentiate profiles between pids.

Header files are now self-contained, which makes the relationships
between the files clearer, and crucially allows LSP tools like `clangd`
to function correctly in all of our header files. I have verified that
the headers are self-contained (aside from the various Windows shims) by
compiling them as if they were C files – in a follow-up commit I plan to
add this to CI to ensure we don't regress on this front.
The added hooks hooks.prof_sample and hooks.prof_sample_free are intended to
allow advanced users to track additional information, to enable new ways of
profiling on top of the jemalloc heap profile and sample features.
The sample hook is invoked after the allocation and backtracing, and forwards
the both the allocation and backtrace to the user hook; the sample_free hook
happens before the actual deallocation, and forwards only the ptr and usz to the
hook.
The option makes the process to exit with error code 1 if a memory leak
is detected. This is useful for implementing automated tools that rely
on leak detection.
Existing backtrace implementations skip native stack frames from runtimes like
Python. The hook allows to augment the backtraces to attribute allocations to
native functions in heap profiles.
This gives more accurate attribution of bytes and counts to stack traces,
without introducing backwards incompatibilities in heap-profile parsing tools.
We track the ideal reported (to the end user) number of bytes more carefully
inside core jemalloc. When dumping heap profiles, insteading of outputting our
counts directly, we output counts that will cause parsing tools to give a result
close to the value we want.
We retain the old version as an opt setting, to let users who are tracking
values on a per-component basis to keep their metrics stable until they decide
to switch.
Develop new data structure and code logic for holding profiling
related information stored in the extent that may be needed after the
extent is released, which in particular is the case for the
reallocation code path (e.g. in `rallocx()` and `xallocx()`). The
data structure is a generalization of `prof_tctx_t`: we previously
only copy out the `prof_tctx` before the extent is released, but we
may be in need of additional fields. Currently the only additional
field is the allocation time field, but there may be more fields in
the future.
The restructuring also resolved a bug: `prof_realloc()` mistakenly
passed the new `ptr` to `prof_free_sampled_object()`, but passing in
the `old_ptr` would crash because it's already been released. Now
the essential profiling information is collectively copied out early
and safely passed to `prof_free_sampled_object()` after the extent is
released.
Makes the prof sample prng use the tsd prng_state. This allows us to properly
initialize the sample interval event, without having to create tdata. As a
result, tdata will be created on demand (when a thread reaches the sample
interval bytes allocated), instead of on the first allocation.
