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

gh-110014: Fix _POSIX_THREADS and _POSIX_SEMAPHORES usage (#110139)
* pycore_pythread.h is now the central place to make sure that
  _POSIX_THREADS and _POSIX_SEMAPHORES macros are defined if
  available.
* Make sure that pycore_pythread.h is included when _POSIX_THREADS
  and _POSIX_SEMAPHORES macros are tested.
* PY_TIMEOUT_MAX is now defined as a constant, since its value
  depends on _POSIX_THREADS, instead of being defined as a macro.
* Prevent integer overflow in the preprocessor when computing
  PY_TIMEOUT_MAX_VALUE on Windows:
  replace "0xFFFFFFFELL * 1000 < LLONG_MAX"
  with "0xFFFFFFFELL < LLONG_MAX / 1000".
* Document the change and give hints how to fix affected code.
* Add an exception for PY_TIMEOUT_MAX  name to smelly.py
* Add PY_TIMEOUT_MAX to the stable ABI
