Jason Evans 9b0cbf0850 Remove support for non-prof-promote heap profiling metadata.
Make promotion of sampled small objects to large objects mandatory, so
that profiling metadata can always be stored in the chunk map, rather
than requiring one pointer per small region in each small-region page
run.  In practice the non-prof-promote code was only useful when using
jemalloc to track all objects and report them as leaks at program exit.
However, Valgrind is at least as good a tool for this particular use
case.

Furthermore, the non-prof-promote code is getting in the way of
some optimizations that will make heap profiling much cheaper for the
predominant use case (sampling a small representative proportion of all
allocations).

jemalloc is a general purpose malloc(3) implementation that emphasizes
fragmentation avoidance and scalable concurrency support.  jemalloc first came
into use as the FreeBSD libc allocator in 2005, and since then it has found its
way into numerous applications that rely on its predictable behavior.  In 2010
jemalloc development efforts broadened to include developer support features
such as heap profiling, Valgrind integration, and extensive monitoring/tuning
hooks.  Modern jemalloc releases continue to be integrated back into FreeBSD,
and therefore versatility remains critical.  Ongoing development efforts trend
toward making jemalloc among the best allocators for a broad range of demanding
applications, and eliminating/mitigating weaknesses that have practical
repercussions for real world applications.
