Patrick McGehearty 0a4df6f534 Remove upper limit on tunable MALLOC_MMAP_THRESHOLD 
The current limit on MALLOC_MMAP_THRESHOLD is either 1 Mbyte (for
32-bit apps) or 32 Mbytes (for 64-bit apps).  This value was set by a
patch dated 2006 (15 years ago).  Attempts to set the threshold higher
are currently ignored.

The default behavior is appropriate for many highly parallel
applications where many processes or threads are sharing RAM. In other
situations where the number of active processes or threads closely
matches the number of cores, a much higher limit may be desired by the
application designer. By today's standards on personal computers and
small servers, 2 Gbytes of RAM per core is commonly available. On
larger systems 4 Gbytes or more of RAM is sometimes available.
Instead of raising the limit to match current needs, this patch
proposes to remove the limit of the tunable, leaving the decision up
to the user of a tunable to judge the best value for their needs.

This patch does not change any of the defaults for malloc tunables,
retaining the current behavior of the dynamic malloc mmap threshold.
