Make use of interceptor to protect memory on Windows (spin-off from #12426)

add EnableLowFragmentationHeap() modified from ​https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-esr24/source/ipc/chromium/src/base/process_util_win.cc#867 It was an old approach from Google that couldn't be applied, because it was single-threaded and led to: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20110701-00/?p=10273/ So that they added just https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/e4adea20236d1cee76f0c61798b1613e07a7f4c1/chrome/app/chrome_exe_main_win.cc#113 from a well-known approach http://microsoft.public.vsnet.general.narkive.com/vkWRTQaL/low-fragmentation-heap, but with that test https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/95b42e2745a2380a16112a059bd0e842d81f0c0a/base/process_util_unittest.cc#377 So you can add Chromium's solution as fast and easy fix (as in legacy/trac#12426 (moved)), but for the default heap only.

A more general approach is to use an interceptor for LFH, bottom-up ASLR and other mitigations on every relevant memory allocation: https://github.com/promised-lu/MemoryProtection/blob/master/MemoryProtection/MemoryProtection.cxx

added component::applications/tor browser in Legacy / Trac owner::tbb-team in Legacy / Trac priority::medium in Legacy / Trac severity::normal in Legacy / Trac status::new in Legacy / Trac tbb-security in Legacy / Trac type::enhancement in Legacy / Trac labels

moved from legacy/trac#22315 (moved)

added Feature label and removed 1 deleted label

added 1 deleted label and removed 1 deleted label

added Security label and removed 1 deleted label

added Icebox label

this is probably hella out of date by now
