Introduce compile time option to force activedefrag to run even when
jemalloc is not used as the allocator.
This is in order to be able to run tests with defrag enabled
while using memory instrumentation tools.

With this commit, users are able to build valkey using `CMake`.
## Example usage:
Build `valkey-server` in Release mode with TLS enabled and using
`jemalloc` as the allocator:
```bash
mkdir build-release
cd $_
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/tmp/valkey-install \
-DBUILD_MALLOC=jemalloc -DBUILD_TLS=1
make -j$(nproc) install
# start valkey
/tmp/valkey-install/bin/valkey-server
```
Build `valkey-unit-tests`:
```bash
mkdir build-release-ut
cd $_
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-DBUILD_MALLOC=jemalloc -DBUILD_UNIT_TESTS=1
make -j$(nproc)
# Run the tests
./bin/valkey-unit-tests
```
Current features supported by this PR:
- Building against different allocators: (`jemalloc`, `tcmalloc`,
`tcmalloc_minimal` and `libc`), e.g. to enable `jemalloc` pass
`-DBUILD_MALLOC=jemalloc` to `cmake`
- OpenSSL builds (to enable TLS, pass `-DBUILD_TLS=1` to `cmake`)
- Sanitizier: pass `-DBUILD_SANITIZER=<address|thread|undefined>` to
`cmake`
- Install target + redis symbolic links
- Build `valkey-unit-tests` executable
- Standard CMake variables are supported. e.g. to install `valkey` under
`/home/you/root` pass `-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/you/root`
Why using `CMake`? To list *some* of the advantages of using `CMake`:
- Superior IDE integrations: cmake generates the file
`compile_commands.json` which is required by `clangd` to get a compiler
accuracy code completion (in other words: your VScode will thank you)
- Out of the source build tree: with the current build system, object
files are created all over the place polluting the build source tree,
the best practice is to build the project on a separate folder
- Multiple build types co-existing: with the current build system, it is
often hard to have multiple build configurations. With cmake you can do
it easily:
- It is the de-facto standard for C/C++ project these days
More build examples:
ASAN build:
```bash
mkdir build-asan
cd $_
cmake .. -DBUILD_SANITIZER=address -DBUILD_MALLOC=libc
make -j$(nproc)
```
ASAN with jemalloc:
```bash
mkdir build-asan-jemalloc
cd $_
cmake .. -DBUILD_SANITIZER=address -DBUILD_MALLOC=jemalloc
make -j$(nproc)
```
As seen by the previous examples, any combination is allowed and
co-exist on the same source tree.
## Valkey installation
With this new `CMake`, it is possible to install the binary by running
`make install` or creating a package `make package` (currently supported
on Debian like distros)
### Example 1: build & install using `make install`:
```bash
mkdir build-release
cd $_
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/valkey-install -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
make -j$(nproc) install
# valkey is now installed under $HOME/valkey-install
```
### Example 2: create a `.deb` installer:
```bash
mkdir build-release
cd $_
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
make -j$(nproc) package
# ... CPack deb generation output
sudo gdebi -n ./valkey_8.1.0_amd64.deb
# valkey is now installed under /opt/valkey
```
### Example 3: create installer for non Debian systems (e.g. FreeBSD or
macOS):
```bash
mkdir build-release
cd $_
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
make -j$(nproc) package
mkdir -p /opt/valkey && ./valkey-8.1.0-Darwin.sh --prefix=/opt/valkey --exclude-subdir
# valkey-server is now installed under /opt/valkey
```
