Change opt.metadata_thp to [disabled,auto,always].

To avoid the high RSS caused by THP + low usage arena (i.e. THP becomes a
significant percentage), added a new "auto" option which will only start using
THP after a base allocator used up the first THP region.  Starting from the
second hugepage (in a single arena), "auto" behaves the same as "always",
i.e. madvise hugepage right away.
