Add follow-up test for postfork multithread

Browse source 
Fix FreeBSD postfork child handler never being called: FreeBSD's libthr
calls _malloc_postfork in both parent and child (see freebsd-src
lib/libthr/thread/thr_fork.c), but jemalloc mapped it to the parent
handler only.  Detect the child via getpid() and route to
jemalloc_postfork_child, which resets nthreads and rebuilds the
descriptor queue.

Remove the child_survivor_bytes vs pre_survivor_bytes comparison: on
macOS where jemalloc registers as the default zone, internal allocations
during the postfork handler (pthread_mutex_init) can inflate the
surviving thread's tcache.

Add double-fork test to verify prefork pid is refreshed correctly when a
child process forks again.

#ifdef JEMALLOC_MUTEX_INIT_CB
/*
* When JEMALLOC_MUTEX_INIT_CB is defined, pthread_atfork registration is
* skipped and the platform calls _malloc_prefork/_malloc_postfork directly.
* FreeBSD's libthr calls _malloc_postfork in both parent and child. Detect
* the child by pid change so we route to jemalloc_postfork_child, which resets
* per-arena state the parent handler does not touch (nthreads, descriptor
* queues). The check is harmless on any platform that only calls
* _malloc_postfork in the parent.
