Support jemalloc compiled with `--with-jemalloc-prefix` (#5521)

Summary:
Previously, if the jemalloc was built with nonempty string for
`--with-jemalloc-prefix`, then `HasJemalloc()` would return false on
Linux, so jemalloc would not be used at runtime. On Mac, it would cause
a linker failure due to no definitions found for the weak functions
declared in "port/jemalloc_helper.h". This should be a rare problem
because (1) on Linux the default `--with-jemalloc-prefix` value is the
empty string, and (2) Homebrew's build explicitly sets
`--with-jemalloc-prefix` to the empty string.

However, there are cases where `--with-jemalloc-prefix` is nonempty.
For example, when building jemalloc from source on Mac, the default
setting is `--with-jemalloc-prefix=je_`. Such jemalloc builds should be
usable by RocksDB.

The fix is simple. Defining `JEMALLOC_MANGLE` before including
"jemalloc.h" causes it to define unprefixed symbols that are aliases for
each of the prefixed symbols. Thanks to benesch for figuring this out
and explaining it to me.

Test Plan:
build jemalloc with prefixed symbols:

```
$ ./configure --with-jemalloc-prefix=lol
$ make
```

compile rocksdb against it:

```
$ WITH_JEMALLOC_FLAG=1 JEMALLOC=1 EXTRA_LDFLAGS="-L/home/andrew/jemalloc/lib/" EXTRA_CXXFLAGS="-I/home/andrew/jemalloc/include/" make -j12 ./db_bench
```

run db_bench and verify jemalloc actually used:

```
$ ./db_bench -benchmarks=fillrandom -statistics=true -dump_malloc_stats=true -stats_dump_period_sec=1
$ grep jemalloc /tmp/rocksdbtest-1000/dbbench/LOG

```
