This addresses warnings from Clang-Tidy's `readability-else-after-return`
rule. This should be the final commit of the series of commits that
addresses this particular rule.
No functional changes.
The abbreviation 'init' is brief, unambiguous and already used
in thousands of places, also initialize is often accidentally
written with British spelling.
When definining static variables that own memory, you should
use the "construct on first use" idiom. Otherwise, you'll get
a warning when Blender exits.
More details are provided in D8354.

Previously this would be enabled when threads were used, but threads are now
basically always in use so there is no point. Further, this is only needed for
guarded allocation with --debug-memory which is not performance critical.
`posix_memalign` requires the `alignment` to be at least `sizeof(void *)`.
Previously, `MEM_mallocN_aligned` would simply return `NULL` if a too small
`alignment` was used. This was an OS specific issue.
The solution is to use a minimal alignment of `8` for all aligned allocations.
The unit tests have been extended to test more possible alignments (some
of which were broken before).

When calling `MEM_guarded_mallocN_aligned` with an alignment of 4,
a pointer that was returned that is 4 byte but not 8 byte aligned.
When freeing this pointer, `MEM_guarded_freeN` thinks that it is an
illegal pointer, because it asserts that `((intptr_t)memh) & 0x7 == 0`.
The fix is to always use at least 8 byte alignment.

BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.
- BEGIN/END license blocks
Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.
- Contributors
This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.
See P901 for script to perform these edits.
With new jemalloc versions memory allocated by threads that then become
inactive is not longer automatically freed. Instead we have to enable a
background thread to do it.
Some testing is needed to find out of this is sufficient, because the
background thread only runs periodically.
While unlikely to have had any serious effects because of limited use, the
previous implementation was not actually atomic due to a data race and
incorrectly coded CAS loop. We also had duplicates of this code in a few
places, it's now been moved to a single location with all other atomic
operations.
The crash did not happen yet because we always had proper vmemh defined in
the parent scope.

The Issue
=======
For a long time now MinGW has been unsupported and unmaintained and at this point,
it looks like something that we should just leave behind and move on.
Why Remove
==========
One of the big motivations for MinGW back in the day is that it was free compared to MSVC which was licensed based.
However, now that this is no longer true we have basically stopped updating the need CMake files.
Along with the CMake files, there are several patches to the extern libs needed to make this work. For example, see:
https://developer.blender.org/diffusion/B/browse/master/extern/carve/patches/mingw_w64.patch
If we wanted to keep MinGW then we would need to make more custom patches to the external libs and
this is not something our platform maintainers are willing to do.
For example, here is the patches needed to build python: https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/tree/master/mingw-w64-python3

We don't like when NULL is send to MEM_freeN(), but there was some
differences between lockfree and guarded allocators:
- Lockfree would have silently crash, in both release and debug modes
- Guarded allocator would have printed error message, abort in debug
but keep working in release build.
This commit makes lockfree allocator behavior to match guarded one.
This gives more precise information about memory usage which might be real handy
when doing memory optimization.
It works good here for as long as i can tell but if for some reason you'll be
experiencing some weird slowdown please let me know.
Updating maximum requires a bit of a cycle which usually does 1 iteration only,
sometimes needs a bit more but seems there's no speed regressions.
For now the code is commented out. This way it's easier for others to verify
there's no speed regressions.

from getting truncated when MEM_printmemlist_pydict() is used.

This gives around 30% of speedup for gaussian blur node.
Pretty much straightforward implementation inside the node
itself, but needed to implement some additional things:
- Aligned malloc. It's needed to load data onto SSE registers
faster. based on the aligned_malloc() from Libmv with
some additional trickery going on to support arbitrary
alignment (this magic is needed because of MemHead).
In the practice only 16bit alignment is supported because
of the lack of aligned malloc with arbitrary alignment
for OSX. Not a bit deal for now because we need 16 bytes
alignment at this moment only. Could be tweaked further
later.
- Memory buffers in compositor are now aligned to 16 bytes.
Should be harmless for non-SSE cases too. just mentioning.
