Description

Add option to build Envoy with LLVM's Scudo Allocator instead of tcmalloc or system allocator.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the current build configuration for tcmalloc and add a new option to use Scudo allocator. Look at how external dependencies are added via Bazel and define the Scudo dependency. Ensure the build system allows selecting the allocator, possibly via a preprocessor flag or build option.
