This PR is an implementation of [RFC 1974] which specifies a new method of
defining a global allocator for a program. This obsoletes the old
`#![allocator]` attribute and also removes support for it.
[RFC 1974]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/197
The new `#[global_allocator]` attribute solves many issues encountered with the
`#![allocator]` attribute such as composition and restrictions on the crate
graph itself. The compiler now has much more control over the ABI of the
allocator and how it's implemented, allowing much more freedom in terms of how
this feature is implemented.

As of last year with version 'Sierra', the Mac operating system is now
called 'macOS'.

Right now there's just a smattering of `// ignore-foo` platforms which is ever
expanding as new ones are added. Instead switch to only running these tests on
Linux/OSX and then use a guaranteed-to-work but not-as-well-tested alternative
on other platforms.

We've been seeing a lot of timeouts in tests on the bots and investigation ended
pointing to jemalloc/jemalloc#315 as the culprit. Unfortunately it looks like
that doesn't seem to have a fix on the way soon, so let's temporarily downgrade
back to the previous version of jemalloc we were using (where #30434 was the
most recent upgrade)

ignore severals tests under openbsd as we have disabling jemalloc under
this target.

Some new allocator tests require dynamic libraries to run the full test, but
dylibs aren't currently working on MUSL.

This commit is an implementation of [RFC 1183][rfc] which allows swapping out
the default allocator on nightly Rust. No new stable surface area should be
added as a part of this commit.
[rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1183
Two new attributes have been added to the compiler:
* `#![needs_allocator]` - this is used by liballoc (and likely only liballoc) to
indicate that it requires an allocator crate to be in scope.
* `#![allocator]` - this is a indicator that the crate is an allocator which can
satisfy the `needs_allocator` attribute above.
The ABI of the allocator crate is defined to be a set of symbols that implement
the standard Rust allocation/deallocation functions. The symbols are not
currently checked for exhaustiveness or typechecked. There are also a number of
restrictions on these crates:
* An allocator crate cannot transitively depend on a crate that is flagged as
needing an allocator (e.g. allocator crates can't depend on liballoc).
* There can only be one explicitly linked allocator in a final image.
* If no allocator is explicitly requested one will be injected on behalf of the
compiler. Binaries and Rust dylibs will use jemalloc by default where
available and staticlibs/other dylibs will use the system allocator by
default.
Two allocators are provided by the distribution by default, `alloc_system` and
`alloc_jemalloc` which operate as advertised.
Closes #27389
