Add heaptrack support (#7764)

Although we're working on jemalloc profiler support in #7746, heaptrack seems to be producing more sensible results.

This PR adds a heaptrack profile and a heaptrack feature so that we no longer need to patch the code in order to use heaptrack. This may prove complementary to jemalloc profiling, so I think there is no harm in having both.
