Asking the OS for the process memory usage doesn't work will given how mimalloc works. It does not promptly return memory to the OS and so the memory doesn't drop after cyclic trash is freed. Instead of asking the OS, use mimalloc APIs to compute how much memory is being used by all mimalloc arenas. We need to stop-the-world to do this but usually we can avoid doing a collection. So, from a performance perspective, this is worth it.
It's probably better to call this inside of gc_collect_main(). That way, we are not doing the STW from inside _PyObject_GC_Link() function. This should have no significant performance impact since we hit this only after the young object count hits the threshold.
