lib: add allocation tagging support for memory allocation profiling

Introduce CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING which provides definitions to easily
instrument memory allocators.  It registers an "alloc_tags" codetag type
with /proc/allocinfo interface to output allocation tag information when
the feature is enabled.

CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG is provided for debugging the memory
allocation profiling instrumentation.

Memory allocation profiling can be enabled or disabled at runtime using
/proc/sys/vm/mem_profiling sysctl when CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG=n.
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT enables memory allocation
profiling by default.

+allocinfo
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+Provides information about memory allocations at all locations in the code
+base. Each allocation in the code is identified by its source file, line
+number, module (if originates from a loadable module) and the function calling
+the allocation. The number of bytes allocated and number of calls at each
+location are reported.

+Example output.
