1bd2cc2785 mimalloc: avoid having to link to bcrypt just for mimalloc
Instead, load the `BCryptGenRandom()` function dynamically. When
needed. If needed.

This is necessary because the start-up cost of Git processes spent on
loading dynamic libraries is non-negligible.

36d159f5c0 Import the source code of mimalloc
This commit imports mimalloc's source code as per v2.0.6, fetched from
the tag at https://github.com/microsoft/mimalloc.

The .c files are from the src/ subdirectory, and the .h files from the
include/ subdirectory. We will subsequently modify the source code to
accommodate building within Git's context.

Since we plan on using the `mi_*()` family of functions, we skip the
C++-specific source code, some POSIX compliant functions to interact
with mimalloc, and the code that wants to support auto-magic overriding
of the `malloc()` function (mimalloc-new-delete.h, alloc-posix.c,
mimalloc-override.h, alloc-override.c, alloc-override-osx.c,
alloc-override-win.c and static.c).

To appease the `check-whitespace` job of Git's Continuous Integration,
this commit was washed one time via `git rebase --whitespace=fix`.
