FreeBSD/jemalloc: fixed recovery after hitting memory limit
* We now set opt.retain=false for the process, so jemalloc returns
freed memory and the RSS decreases when recovering from memory limit hits.
This should be safe at least on FreeBSD.
* Either the opt.retain option is new or I was previously testing
this only on 32-bit systems.
