- On Android, we were already doing it, but using fallible allocations.
- On *nix, it probably doesn't make a difference, but can't hurt. For
most things in Gecko, operator new/delete are inlined and thus
replaced by direct calls to the underlying allocator functions
(moz_xmalloc, malloc, etc.). This may have a benefit for some third
party libraries that would otherwise go through libstdc++'s to
eventually end up back into our allocator via the zone allocator
on macOS and via the exported symbols on others.
- On Windows, because of how some CRT static libraries are, a non-inlined
operator new (thanks to some disabled STL wrapping) would end up linked
against the system malloc, causing problems.
Overall, this can only be better. This also reduces the number of places
where we define those functions.
And on Android, this means operator new within mozglue becomes infallible,
which is more consistent with everything else.

This allows freelist randomization on a per-arena basis, by supplying parameters to
arena creation.
It uses an xorshift PRNG with a 128-bit state. It is not cryptographically secure. An
attacker who can observe outputs of the RNG, or read its state, is already in a position
to bypass the randomization applied. At the same time we make its state 128 bit to prevent
a trivial bypass if one or two outputs are observed.
The way a run selects masks to check has not been modified, so the randomization is limited
to at most 32 bits in the current mask being tested. It should be noted that while allocations
from the same run may now be non deterministic (up to the maximum entropy as previously
stated), an attacker who can perform multiple allocations will still be able to allocate
a targeted free region (for example while exploiting a use after free vulnerability in the
DOM). Non deterministic allocations will only impede an attacker who has less control over
how they allocate a targeted free region, and may provide some benefit during exploitation
of a heap based buffer overflow vulnerability where the attacker wishes to construct a
precise layout of regions pre overflow.

`jemalloc_replace_dynamic()` is badly broken. If you install a malloc table
other than the default at startup (e.g. DMD's or PHC's), when you call
`jemalloc_replace_dynamic()` it installs a new allocator that wraps the
*default* allocator, and then when you call `jemalloc_replace_dynamic(nullptr)`
it switches back to the *default* allocator.
This commits makes numerous improvements.
- It removes the "flip-flopping" between malloc tables, which didn't really
work and isn't necessary.
- `jemalloc_replace_dynamic()` now switches between the *original* malloc table
and the new one, rather than the *default* malloc table and the new one.
- It renames various things, to make the names shorter and clearer.
- It clearly documents the dangers and limitations of
`jemalloc_replace_dynamic()`.
- It removes and inlines `profiler::Init()`, because there was only one call
site.
- It rearranges `install_memory_counter()` so the control flow is simpler.

This makes it less mozjemalloc-specific, which is helpful for PHC. No non-test

The current situation is suboptimal, where we have the same goop
repeated in multiple files, and where things kinda sorta work out fine
thanks to the linker for files that would have been forbidden, except
when the linker doesn't do its job, which apparently happen on
mingwclang builds.
This change only really covers C++ code using operator new/delete, and
not things that would be using malloc/free, because it's easier.
malloc/free is left for a followup.

MALLOC_STATIC_PAGESIZE is only set on some platforms. Specifically, it's
not set on ia64 and sparc. Which means the case MALLOC_STATIC_PAGESIZE
&& (sparc || ia64) never happens, and gPageSize is never 8 KiB.

In D25711, I added an arenaId member to `jemalloc_ptr_info_t` when `MOZ_DEBUG`
is defined. This modifies the GTest for `jemalloc_ptr_info()` to ensure that
the new member returns the correct value.

To ensure that any new JSString has its char buffer allocated in the new arena,
it is useful to be able to query a pointer and assert that it is in the
correct arena (at-least in Debug Build).
This adds the required functionality to mozjemalloc, and JSString can use it
for its new assertion in a later change.

Changes:
- most tests are skipped using `moz.build` configuration file.
- `MultiWriterQueue` had to be skipped with `define` clauses in the test file due to build bustages when its `moz.build` file was used.

`sizeof(uintptr_t*)`, but it's good to make things more obviously correct.
