NMT shows how much native memory the JIT uses but lumps together footprints from concurrent compilations, making its peak values arbitrary. And we have no way to associate the NMT numbers with individual allocations.

> The patch exploits the fact that compilers use arenas almost exclusively. It hooks into `Arena::grow()` to track allocations. That makes memory tracking very cheap at an acceptable loss in fidelity (we only track arena chunk allocations, not individual Arena allocations).

> Peak values are tracked per compiler thread. That works since all arenas used during compilation are associated with a compiler thread and never change that association during the compilation.
