All platforms support the proper format string and it's already used in

Instead of submitting tons of tiny IO syscalls, we can speed things up
significantly by `mmap`ing the .blend file into virtual memory and directly
accessing it.
In my local testing, this speeds up loading the Dweebs file with all its
linked files from 19sec to 10sec (on Linux).
As far as I can see, this should be supported on Linux, OSX and BSD.
For Windows, a second code path uses `CreateFileMapping` and
`MapViewOfFile` to achieve the same result.

Previously the only way to use lockfree implementation was to start
executable and never switch to guarded allocator.
Surely, it is not possible to switch implementation once any allocation
did happen, but some tests are desired to test lock-free implementation
of the allocator. Those tests did not operate properly because the main
entry point of tests are forcing guarded allocator to help catching
bugs.
This change makes it possible for those tests to ensure they do operate
on lock-free implementation.
There is no functional changes here, preparing boilerplate for an
upcoming work on the allocator tests themselves.
This adds a new `--debug-exit-on-error` flag. When it is set, Blender
will abort with a non-zero exit code when there are internal errors.
Currently, "internal errors" includes memory leaks detected by
guardedalloc and error/fatal log entries in clog.
The new flag is passed to Blender in various places where automated
tests are run. Furthermore, the `--debug-memory` flag is used in tests,
because that makes the verbose output more useful, when dealing
with memory leaks.

This addresses warnings from Clang-Tidy's `readability-else-after-return`
rule. This should be the final commit of the series of commits that
addresses this particular rule.
No functional changes.
The abbreviation 'init' is brief, unambiguous and already used
in thousands of places, also initialize is often accidentally
written with British spelling.
When definining static variables that own memory, you should
use the "construct on first use" idiom. Otherwise, you'll get
a warning when Blender exits.
More details are provided in D8354.

Previously this would be enabled when threads were used, but threads are now
basically always in use so there is no point. Further, this is only needed for
guarded allocation with --debug-memory which is not performance critical.
`posix_memalign` requires the `alignment` to be at least `sizeof(void *)`.
Previously, `MEM_mallocN_aligned` would simply return `NULL` if a too small
`alignment` was used. This was an OS specific issue.
The solution is to use a minimal alignment of `8` for all aligned allocations.
The unit tests have been extended to test more possible alignments (some
of which were broken before).

When calling `MEM_guarded_mallocN_aligned` with an alignment of 4,
a pointer that was returned that is 4 byte but not 8 byte aligned.
When freeing this pointer, `MEM_guarded_freeN` thinks that it is an
illegal pointer, because it asserts that `((intptr_t)memh) & 0x7 == 0`.
The fix is to always use at least 8 byte alignment.

BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,

- BEGIN/END license blocks
Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.
- Contributors
This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.
See P901 for script to perform these edits.
With new jemalloc versions memory allocated by threads that then become
inactive is not longer automatically freed. Instead we have to enable a
background thread to do it.
Some testing is needed to find out of this is sufficient, because the
background thread only runs periodically.
While unlikely to have had any serious effects because of limited use, the
previous implementation was not actually atomic due to a data race and
incorrectly coded CAS loop. We also had duplicates of this code in a few
places, it's now been moved to a single location with all other atomic
operations.
The crash did not happen yet because we always had proper vmemh defined in
the parent scope.

The Issue
=======
For a long time now MinGW has been unsupported and unmaintained and at this point,
it looks like something that we should just leave behind and move on.
Why Remove
==========
One of the big motivations for MinGW back in the day is that it was free compared to MSVC which was licensed based.
However, now that this is no longer true we have basically stopped updating the need CMake files.
Along with the CMake files, there are several patches to the extern libs needed to make this work. For example, see:
https://developer.blender.org/diffusion/B/browse/master/extern/carve/patches/mingw_w64.patch
If we wanted to keep MinGW then we would need to make more custom patches to the external libs and
this is not something our platform maintainers are willing to do.
For example, here is the patches needed to build python: https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/tree/master/mingw-w64-python3
