configure: Add support for tcmalloc
This adds "--enable-tcmalloc" and "--disable-tcmalloc" to allow linking
to libtcmalloc from gperftools.
tcmalloc is a malloc implementation that works well with threads and is
fast, so it is good for performance.
It is disabled by default, because the MALLOC_PERTURB_ flag we use in
tests doesn't work with tcmalloc. However we can enable tcmalloc
specific heap checker and profilers later.
An IOPS gain can be observed with virtio-blk-dataplane, other parts of
QEMU will directly benefit from it as well:
==========================================================
glibc malloc
----------------------------------------------------------
rw bs iodepth bw iops latency
read 4k 1 150 38511 24
----------------------------------------------------------
==========================================================
tcmalloc
----------------------------------------------------------
rw bs iodepth bw iops latency
read 4k 1 156 39969 23
