MDEV-12445 : Rocksdb does not shutdown worker threads and aborts in m…

…emleak check on server shutdown

Disable memory leak check in debug server, if rocksdb is loaded.
There is some subtle bug somewhere in 3rd party code we cannot
do much about.

The bug is manifested as follows

Rocksdb does not shutdown worker threads, when plugin is shut down. Thus
OS does not unload the library since there are some active threads using
this library's code. Thus global destructors in the library do not run,
and there is still some memory allocated when server exits.

The workaround disables server's memory leak check, if rocksdb engine was
loaded.
