Qi Wang 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).

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 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.
