dev-libs/jemalloc: fix aarch64 non-4k page runtime issue
Jemalloc can't handle running on a system with a larger page size than
it was configured with, resulting in runtime failures if e.g. a binpkg
is used or build-time detection fails (some M1 processors, at least),
resulting in failures like:
<jemalloc>: Unsupported system page size
memory allocation of 72 bytes failed
On the other hand, it's quite happy to run when configured with a larger
page size (e.g. 64k) on systems with smaller page sizes (16k, 4k). Apply
an upstream patch to default to 64k on aarch64; users may override this
by passing `--with-lg-pagesize=foo` in `EXTRA_ECONF` if they so desire.
This won't resolve issues on other arches, but it's far less common to
see this sort of weirdness there anyway.

+Subject: [PATCH] Change the default page size to 64KiB on Aarch64 Linux
+
+This updates the configuration script to set the default page size to
+64KiB on Aarch64 Linux. This is motivated by compatibility as a build
+configured for a 64KiB page will work on kernels that use the smaller
+4KiB or 16KiB pages, whereas the reverse is not true.
+
+To make the configured page size setting more visible, the script now
+displays the page size when printing the configuration results.
+
+Users that want to override the page size in to choose a smaller value
+can still do so with the --with-lg-pagesize configuration option.
