consider snmalloc as an alternative to mimalloc

[enihcam]

Since mimalloc has been unmaintained for a long while, I think it's probably time to add a build option to allow users choosing alternative memory allocator, e.g. snmalloc.

Is mimalloc really unmaintained? The last release I can find at https://github.com/microsoft/mimalloc/tags is v2.1.2 which was released in April this year.

there's no activities taken place after July 1st.

Three months are too short to consider the library unmaintained.

https://github.com/microsoft/mimalloc/graphs/code-frequency says wildly variable commit frequency is normal for this repo. microsoft/snmalloc#273 (comment) also says there's nothing to worry about.

@rui314, What is a problem with mimalloc on 32 bit systems?

https://github.com/rui314/mold/blob/main/CMakeLists.txt#L179

I don't remember that now, but that should be reproducible if you try to run mold with mimalloc.
