Different malloc (Memory Allocator) for greater performance? (Linux Build Request)

[Sirbucket]

Description

Implement a different libmalloc for greater performance (Mimalloc, Hoard, etc.) tcmalloc is years outdated and slow.

Checklist

• None of the open or closed issues document this idea.
• This is a new idea, not a bug.
• This idea does not seriously affect game balance.
• This is obviously an improvement, not something that people commonly disagree on.
• This is not an idea for new game content (e.g. new weapons, maps, sounds).

• This idea is for the code of the game, not for textures, sounds, or other resources.
• This idea has been implemented in vanilla TF2.
• There is proof that this idea is well liked (e.g. a history of use of a similar mod in a competitive league).
• This idea has been implemented in a mod.
• This feature has existed in the vanilla game but was removed.
• This idea is for internal procedures or tooling (e.g. improving the build process, supporting new systems).

1. Update the current one to the maximum the devs put it to.

HP's fork was archived because mastercoms privated tc2 for a bit and moved to my fork

Should I update the linux build instructions to include this fork?
