This provide a way to configure snmalloc to provide per object meta-data that is out of band. This can be used to provide different mitigations on top of snmalloc, such as storing memory tags in a compressed form, or provide a miracle pointer like feature.
This also includes a couple of TSAN fixes as it wasn't fully on in CI.
* [NFC] Simplify static constexpr inline
`constexpr` => `inline`
and when not in a class scope
`constexpr` => `static`
This PR removes the redundant use of `inline` and `static`. It also
prefers
`static constexpr`
over
`constexpr static`
* Rename to use Config, rather than StateHandle/Globals/Backend
* Make Backend a type on Config that contains the address space management implementation
* Make Ranges part of the Backend configuration, so we can reuse code for different ways of managing memory
* Pull the common chains of range definitions into separate files for reuse.
* Move PagemapEntry to CommonConfig
* Expose Pagemap through backend, so frontend doesn't see Pagemap directly
* Remove global Pal and use DefaultPal, where one is not pass explicitly.

This refactoring was provided by David. Previously if a backend
provided a capptr_domesticate function with the wrong type it would be
silently ignored. This change requires backends to explicitly opt in
to domestication via a new Backend::Option and ensures the compiler
will loudly complain if there is a mismatch.
See src/snmalloc/README.md for an explanation of the layers.
Some other cleanups on the way:
Fine-grained stats support is now gone.
It's been broken for two years, it depends on iostream (which then
causes linker failures with libstdc++) and it's collecting the wrong
stats for the new design. After discussion with @mjp41, it's better to
remove it and introduce new stats support later, rather than keep broken
code in the main branch.
Tracing was controlled with a preprocessor macro, now there's also a
CMake option.
