add -DZIG_ENABLE_MEM_PROFILE option and -fmem-report flag
...
This can be used to find what's taking up memory in the compiler.
Here's an example of how to use it:
```
./zig test ../lib/std/std.zig --cache off -fmem-report
```
And here's the output I get for this on x86_64-linux-gnu today:

You can see that most of the memory is taken up by IR instructions,
as well as comptime values. This points toward 2 changes which will
greatly reduce memory usage:
* Rework semantic analysis so that IR instructions can be freed.
Currently the comptime value struct (ConstExprValue) is embedded
directly into the IrInstruction struct. If this is made to be
separate, at the very least pass 1 IR instructions can be freed.
This includes `Const` which is the largest usage of memory currently.
* Rework the ConstExprValue struct to no longer be a tagged union.
For example, there's no need for an integer comptime value to be
80 bytes.
From this you can also see that this eliminates some things from being
the culprit. Before doing this analysis, I considered whether doing
string interning would help. From the above output, you can see that all
strings in the compiler account for only 18 MiB, so string interning
would have been a dead end.
