feat: support non libc allocators

[not-matthias]

• feat(memtrack): accept IPC before creating tracker to avoid timeouts
• chore: print number of events written to disk
• feat(memtrack): track memalign calls
• feat(memtrack): support dynamically and statically linked allocators

Pull request overview

This pull request enhances the memtrack eBPF-based memory tracking system to support multiple memory allocators beyond the standard libc. The changes enable tracking of statically and dynamically linked allocators like jemalloc and mimalloc, which are commonly used in Rust and other performance-critical applications.

Changes:

• Refactored IPC connection initialization to happen before creating the Tracker instance to avoid timeouts
• Added comprehensive allocator discovery system supporting libc, jemalloc, and mimalloc (both static and dynamic linking)
• Extended eBPF probe attachment to support allocator-specific symbol names and added memalign tracking

The attach_standard_probes method is used differently for Libc vs. non-libc allocators. For Libc (line 298), the result is returned and can fail the operation. However, for Jemalloc and Mimalloc (lines 302, 307), the result is explicitly discarded with let _ = .... This inconsistency could be confusing. Consider documenting why the result is discarded for non-libc allocators, or refactoring to make the intent clearer (e.g., a separate method like try_attach_standard_probes that never fails).
