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:

	configure

Note on the RHEL7 part:
	malloc(1) would fail to compile due to -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 that
	configure passes in --extra-cflags.  The flag enables warnings
        for unused result of malloc.  However, QEMU already knows about
        -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE and enables it after configure tests are run.
	So, remove it from --extra-cflags and trust configure to do the
	right thing.
