Use `mimalloc` as `global_allocator` for `rustc_driver`

[Zoxc]

This changes the Rust global allocator for rustc_driver to mimalloc, leaving LLVM unaffected.

Based on https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/122362.

Has anything changed since we last evaluated mimalloc and decided we wouldn't use it over jemalloc on linux?

[Zoxc]

I'd like to see the memory use of a mimalloc + jemalloc mix.

Ok then we can wait another hour for #122362's results in case there's an issue there, and then trigger a run for this PR. I'm not sure what code will get mimalloc vs jemalloc's symbol overrides (if any) but we'll see.

In the meantime:
