[PartitionAlloc] Use fewer VMAs by default on Linux systems

Some clients of PartitionAlloc (for instance mksnapshot, part of
Chromium's build through V8, which uses PartitionAlloc but not with
Chromium's config) do not use Chromium's partition_alloc_support.cc to
configure it. As a result, they still get the default behavior which is
creatig a lot of memory regions.

This is shows to cause crashes in certain build configs on some Linux
systems for mksnapshot. Make the new behavior default for clients that
do not use the feature. This is temporary, the feature flag will be
removed once we settle on what to do on all platforms.

With this patch, mksnapshot succeeds with a limit of 8k VMAs (but not
the full Chromium build, as linking requires more). Tested by running:

$, sudo sh -c 'echo 8000 >  /proc/sys/vm/max_map_count

$ ./mksnapshot --turbo_instruction_scheduling --stress-turbo-late-spilling
--target_os=linux --target_arch=x64 --embedded_src gen/v8/embedded.S
--predictable --no-use-ic --builtins-effects-src

Logo Chromium

Chromium is an open-source browser project that aims to build a safer, faster, and more stable way for all users to experience the web.

The project's web site is https://www.chromium.org.

To check out the source code locally, don't use git clone! Instead, follow the instructions on how to get the code.

Documentation in the source is rooted in docs/README.md.

Learn how to Get Around the Chromium Source Code Directory Structure.

For historical reasons, there are some small top level directories. Now the guidance is that new top level directories are for product (e.g. Chrome, Android WebView, Ash). Even if these products have multiple executables, the code should be in subdirectories of the product.

If you found a bug, please file it at https://crbug.com/new.
