7bb05e04be add experimental.arenas_create_ext mallctl
This mallctl accepts an arena_config_t structure which
can be used to customize the behavior of the arena.
Right now it contains extent_hooks and a new option,
metadata_use_hooks, which controls whether the extent
hooks are also used for metadata allocation.

The medata_use_hooks option has two main use cases:

1. In heterogeneous memory systems, to avoid metadata
being placed on potentially slower memory.

2. Avoiding virtual memory from being leaked as a result
of metadata allocation failure originating in an extent hook.

08089589f7 Fix an interaction between the oversize_threshold test and bgthds.
Also added the shared utility to check if background_thread is enabled.

21dfa4300d Change assert_* to expect_* in tests
```
grep -Irl assert_ test/ | xargs sed -i \
    's/witness_assert/witness_do_not_replace/g';
grep -Irl assert_ test/ | xargs sed -i \
    's/malloc_mutex_assert_owner/malloc_mutex_do_not_replace_owner/g';

grep -Ir assert_ test/ | grep -o "[_a-zA-Z]*assert_[_a-zA-Z]*" | \
    grep -v "^assert_"; # confirm no output
grep -Irl assert_ test/ | xargs sed -i 's/assert_/expect_/g';

88d9eca848 Enforce page alignment for sampled allocations.
This allows sampled allocations to be checked through alignment, therefore
enable sized deallocation regardless of cache_oblivious.

3f0dc64c6b Allow setting extent hooks on uninitialized auto arenas.
Setting extent hooks can result in initializing an unused auto arena.  This is
useful to install extent hooks on auto arenas from the beginning.

b5ab3f91ea Fix test/integration/extent.
Should only run the hook tests without background threads.  This was introduced
in 6e841f6.

b693c7868e Implementing opt.background_thread.
Added opt.background_thread to enable background threads, which handles purging
currently.  When enabled, decay ticks will not trigger purging (which will be
left to the background threads).  We limit the max number of threads to NCPUs.
When percpu arena is enabled, set CPU affinity for the background threads as
well.

The sleep interval of background threads is dynamic and determined by computing
number of pages to purge in the future (based on backlog).

de49674fbd Use MALLOC_CONF rather than malloc_conf for tests.
malloc_conf does not reliably work with MSVC, which complains of
"inconsistent dll linkage", i.e. its inability to support the
application overriding malloc_conf when dynamically linking/loading.
Work around this limitation by adding test harness support for per test
shell script sourcing, and converting all tests to use MALLOC_CONF
instead of malloc_conf.

c4c2592c83 Update brace style.
Add braces around single-line blocks, and remove line breaks before
function-opening braces.

This resolves #537.

3f291d59ad Refactor test extent hook code to be reusable.
Move test extent hook code from the extent integration test into a
header, and normalize the out-of-band controls and introspection.
Also refactor the base unit test to use the header.

a0dd3a4483 Implement per arena base allocators.
Add/rename related mallctls:
- Add stats.arenas.<i>.base .
- Rename stats.arenas.<i>.metadata to stats.arenas.<i>.internal .
- Add stats.arenas.<i>.resident .

Modify the arenas.extend mallctl to take an optional (extent_hooks_t *)
argument so that it is possible for all base allocations to be serviced
by the specified extent hooks.

This resolves #463.

a6e86810d8 Refactor purging and splitting/merging.
Split purging into lazy and forced variants.  Use the forced variant for
zeroing dss.

Add support for NULL function pointers as an opt-out mechanism for the
dalloc, commit, decommit, purge_lazy, purge_forced, split, and merge
fields of extent_hooks_t.

Add short-circuiting checks in large_ralloc_no_move_{shrink,expand}() so
that no attempt is made if splitting/merging is not supported.

This resolves #268.

977103c897 Uniformly cast mallctl[bymib]() oldp/newp arguments to (void *).
This avoids warnings in some cases, and is otherwise generally good
hygiene.
