gh-90815: Add mimalloc memory allocator (#109914)

Browse source

* Add mimalloc v2.12

Modified src/alloc.c to remove include of alloc-override.c and not
compile new handler.

Did not include the following files:

 - include/mimalloc-new-delete.h
 - include/mimalloc-override.h
 - src/alloc-override-osx.c
 - src/alloc-override.c
 - src/static.c
 - src/region.c

mimalloc is thread safe and shares a single heap across all runtimes,
therefore finalization and getting global allocated blocks across all
runtimes is different.

* mimalloc: minimal changes for use in Python:

 - remove debug spam for freeing large allocations
 - use same bytes (0xDD) for freed allocations in CPython and mimalloc
   This is important for the test_capi debug memory tests

* Don't export mimalloc symbol in libpython.
* Enable mimalloc as Python allocator option.
* Add mimalloc MIT license.
* Log mimalloc in Lib/test/pythoninfo.py.
* Document new mimalloc support.
* Use macro defs for exports as done in:
