This PR, courtesy of @NagyZoltanPeter
(https://github.com/waku-org/nwaku/pull/3522) adds the ability to track
memory allocations in a program suitable for use with
[heaptrack](https://github.com/KDE/heaptrack).
By passing `-d:heaptrack --debugger:native` to compilation, calls to
heaptrack will be injected when memory is being allocated and released -
unlike `-d:useMalloc` this strategy also works with `refc` and the
default memory pool.
See https://github.com/KDE/heaptrack for usage examples. The resulting
binary needs to be run with `heaptrack` and with the shared
`libheaptrack_preload.so` in the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`.
