Unexpected error from C library during 'malloc': Cannot allocate memory in Linux aarch64

[ayr-ton]

Steps to reproduce

1. Ensure you're using a Linux-based kernel compiled for aarch64 with pages of 16K (Mine was 5.19.0-rc7-asahi-2-1-ARCH)
2. Install telegram-desktop via any method (apt, pacman, flatpak) or static binary
3. Run telegram-desktop via terminal

Expected behaviour

To open the app as expected

Actual behaviour

The app won't open with Segfault error because the binary wasn't compiled with 16K pages support

Operating system

Linux 5.19.0-rc7-asahi-2-1-ARCH PREEMPT_DYNAMIC aarch64

Version of Telegram Desktop

4.0.2

Installation source

Static binary from official website

Static binary from official website

How can you use static binary if it doesn't exist for aarch64?

For other official builds (snap, flatpak) see discussion at #24564. Basically, we don't want to tamper with jemalloc arguments and this should be reported to jemalloc, so they change defaults to the appropriate ones.

All you need to do to make it work is rebuild jemalloc. You don't even need to change any build options, just copy this
