Description:
SHOW ENGINE PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA STATUS
reports
PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA.MEMORY
for the total memory used.

The count returned is missing memory for PFS_FILE_HANDLE

How to repeat:
Read the code

Suggested fix:
Count the total allocated memory, and add an assert to make sure
everything allocated is also reported.

      Bug#53566 SHOW ENGINE PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA STATUS reports less memory than really used
      
      Prior to this fix, the statement
        SHOW ENGINE PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA STATUS
      would report less memory that really allocated by the performance schema.
      
      With this fix:
      - memory usage is now reported accurately
      - an assert enforces that everything allocated internally 
        is reported, to avoid future discrepancies.
      
      No test script needed, as the existing scripts in the test suite
      provide coverage when using a debug binary (with asserts).
