[C++] Always prefer mimalloc over jemalloc #43254

Description

Describe the enhancement requested

As discussed on the mailing-list, we should switch the default memory pool to mimalloc for all platforms. This would have several desirable effects:

  • less variability between platforms
  • mimalloc generally has a nicer, more consistent API and is easier to
    work with (in particular, jemalloc's configuration scheme is slightly
    abtruse)
  • potentially better performance, or at least not significantly worse,
    than the statu quo
