…by 3 versions **What does this PR do?** This PR enables the Profiler's `allocation_counting_enabled` feature by default for some Ruby 3 versions. (This feature depends on the profiler itself being enabled). TL;DR we were already enabling this feature by default on Ruby 2, but did not do it on Ruby 3 because of a VM bug ( https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18464 ). Now that this VM bug has been fixed for some Ruby versions (3.1.4, 3.2.3, 3.3.0), we can enable it by default again. **Motivation:** The allocation counting feature is required to enable other features in the future (including allocation profiling) and thus we want to allow as many customers as possible to have it. **Additional Notes:** There's a second annoying VM bug that can also break `allocation_counting_enabled` (https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19112) but since that bug doesn't cause a VM crash and only makes it so that data collection stops for this feature, I think we can live with it for now. I'm also reaching out through some contacts to see if we can get the other bug fixed soon (and possibly backported). **How to test the change?** Change includes test coverage.

What does this PR do?
This PR enables the Profiler's
allocation_counting_enabledfeature by default for some Ruby 3 versions.(This feature depends on the profiler itself being enabled).
TL;DR we were already enabling this feature by default on Ruby 2, but did not do it on Ruby 3 because of a VM bug
( https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18464 ).
Now that this VM bug has been fixed for some Ruby versions (3.1.4, 3.2.3, 3.3.0), we can enable it by default again.
Motivation:
The allocation counting feature is required to enable other features in the future (including allocation profiling) and thus we want to allow as many customers as possible to have it.
Additional Notes:
There's a second annoying VM bug that can also break
allocation_counting_enabled(https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19112) but since that bug doesn't cause a VM crash and only makes it so that data collection stops for this feature, I think we can live with it for now.I'm also reaching out through some contacts to see if we can get the other bug fixed soon (and possibly backported).
