Add the --disable-initial-exec-tls configure option.

Right now we always make our TLS use the initial-exec model if the compiler

* `--disable-initial-exec-tls`
Disable the initial-exec TLS model for jemalloc's internal thread-local
storage (on those platforms that support explicit settings). This can allow
jemalloc to be dynamically loaded after program starup (e.g. using dlopen).
Note that in this case, there will be two malloc implementations operating
in the same process, which will almost certainly result in confusing runtime
crashes if pointers leak from one implementation to the other.
The following environment variables (not a definitive list) impact configure's
behavior:
