[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).

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.
