[PA] Introduce use_partition_alloc_as_malloc (2 of N)

This is one in the series of CLs that aims at replacing use_allocator
and use_partition_alloc_as_malloc with use_partition_alloc_as_malloc.
  use_allocator == "partition" <=> use_partition_alloc_as_malloc == true
  use_allocator == "none" <=> use_partition_alloc_as_malloc == false

This CL switches from enable_partition_alloc_as_malloc_support and
use_allocator to use_partition_alloc_as_malloc everywhere. Once landed,
use_allocator will be useless and can be removed from GN args. enable_partition_alloc_as_malloc_support too, but that doesn't seem to
be set anywhere anyway.

Build overrides in GN

This directory is used to allow different products to customize settings for repos that are DEPS'ed in or shared.

For example: V8 could be built on its own (in a “standalone” configuration), and it could be built as part of Chromium. V8 might define a top-level target, //v8:d8 (a simple executable), that should only be built in the standalone configuration. To figure out whether or not it should be in a standalone configuration, v8 can create a file, build_overrides/v8.gni, that contains a variable, build_standalone_d8 = true. and import it (as import(“//build_overrides/v8.gni”) from its top-level BUILD.gn file.

Chromium, on the other hand, might not need to build d8, and so it would create its own build_overrides/v8.gni file, and in it set build_standalone_d8 = false.

The two files should define the same set of variables, but the values can vary as appropriate to the needs of the two different builds.

The build.gni file provides a way for projects to override defaults for variables used in //build itself (which we want to be shareable between projects).

TODO(crbug.com/588513): Ideally //build_overrides and, in particular, //build_overrides/build.gni should go away completely in favor of some mechanism that can re-use other required files like //.gn, so that we don't have to keep requiring projects to create a bunch of different files to use GN.
