[ruby-core:88156] [Ruby trunk Feature#14718] Use jemalloc by default?

Hi!

I'm another Ruby user that used to have memory bloat problems. I switched to `jemalloc` and got similar results already posted here.

I just wrote a simple script (36 lines) that seems to reproduce the issue.

https://github.com/andresakata/ruby-memory-bloat

The script basically creates a `FixedThreadPool` (depends on `concurrent-ruby`) and initializes lots of arrays and strings.

It also logs the memory usage at the end of each thread and I'm plotting the numbers below.

Hope it can be useful for the discussion.

**glibc**

**jemalloc**

The data is in the GitHub as well.

I did the test in a Ubuntu 16.04.

I know Sam opened #9113 4 years ago to suggest this but I'm revisiting the topic to see if there's any movement here for Ruby 2.6 or 2.7.  I supply a major piece of Ruby infrastructure (Sidekiq) and I keep hearing over and over how Ruby is terrible with memory, a huge memory hog with their Rails apps.  My users switch to jemalloc and a miracle occurs: their memory usage drops massively.  Some data points:

Redis moved to jemalloc many years ago and it solved all of their memory issues too.  Their conclusion: the glibc allocator "sucks really really hard". http://oldblog.antirez.com/post/everything-about-redis-24.html

This is a real pain point for the entire Rails community and would improve Ruby's reputation immensely if we can solve this problem.
