build: tolerate use of _Generic from glibc 2.43 with Clang (#6233)

The `linux-{asan-ubsan,sha256,reftable}` jobs run inside
`ubuntu:rolling`, which now resolves to Ubuntu 26.04 with glibc 2.43;
that pulls `_Generic` into `<sys/cdefs.h>` and breaks our `-std=gnu99
-Werror` Clang builds. Concrete failure:
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/actions/runs/25390480083/job/74463338845.

Picking up Patrick Steinhardt's fix from
https://lore.kernel.org/git/20260505-b4-pks-ci-tolerate-glibc-generic-v1-1-5786386fe512@pks.im/
ahead of its upstream merge so the GfW CI goes green again. The diff
conflicts with `fe5704a3695c "mimalloc: offer a build-time option to
enable it"`, which wraps the affected `config.mak.dev` block in `ifndef
USE_MIMALLOC`; the resolution preserves that wrap on the `gcc6`-only
branch surviving Patrick's patch. `meson.build` auto-merged.
