Summary: Redo of D40657, which had the initial discussion. The initial code had to move into a libcdep file, and things had to be shuffled accordingly. `NanoTime` is a time sink when checking whether or not to release memory to the OS. While reducing the amount of calls to said function is in the works, another solution that was found to be beneficial was to use a timing function that can leverage the vDSO. We hit a couple of snags along the way, like the fact that the glibc crashes when clock_gettime is called from a preinit_array, or the fact that `__vdso_clock_gettime` is mangled (for security purposes) and can't be used directly, and also that clock_gettime can be intercepted. The proposed solution takes care of all this as far as I can tell, and significantly improve performances and some Scudo load tests with memory reclaiming enabled. @mcgrathr: please feel free to follow up on https://reviews.llvm.org/D40657#940857 here.
