Allocate from libc's malloc in every release shell, and check macOS's Debug build too

The tty, gui and detached shells allocate from std.start's gpa, which is a
DebugAllocator in Debug and, because we link libc, libc's malloc otherwise.
The macOS shell hardcoded std.heap.smp_allocator in every mode, so its Debug
build checked nothing it allocated outside memory.zig's subsystems.

Which allocator a release build should use was measured rather than
assumed, in ReleaseFast, with an experimental gui that chose at startup
between glibc's malloc and smp_allocator, with and without memory.zig's
stack-fallback buffers, plus an A/A pair; ten interleaved rounds, compared
round by round. The gui frame-cost harness (idle, scroll and typing in
src/pardes.zig, terminal spew, wheel-scrolling docs/design.pdf, first paint)
saw every candidate within the A/A pair's noise. Twelve rounds of the
allocation-heavy paths themselves, highlighting all of src/pardes.zig (305k
tree-sitter allocations) and pardes-pdf-bench's MuPDF renders, split them:
smp_allocator was 2 to 6% slower on MuPDF's page-sized rasters (slower in 9
to 11 of 12 rounds), no better on tree-sitter, and the stack-fallback buffers
changed nothing either way. So glibc's malloc it is, with the buffers kept.

macos.zig now takes a DebugAllocator in Debug, deinitialized in
pardes_deinit with leaks logged the way std.start treats the others', and
libc's malloc otherwise. main.zig says why init.gpa is kept.
