8b14f3abc0 background_thread: add max thread count config
Looking at the thread counts in our services, jemalloc's background thread
is useful, but mostly idle.  Add a config option to tune down the number of threads.

a4d6fe73cf Only abort on dlsym when necessary.
If neither background_thread nor lazy_lock is in use, do not abort on dlsym
errors.

464cb60490 Move background thread creation to background_thread_0.
To avoid complications, avoid invoking pthread_create "internally", instead rely
on thread0 to launch new threads, and also terminating threads when asked.

b511232fcd Refactor/fix background_thread/percpu_arena bootstrapping.
Refactor bootstrapping such that dlsym() is called during the
bootstrapping phase that can tolerate reentrant allocation.

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).
