Description
It could be nice if we could:
a) (read-only) access thread local stats
b) (read-only) access _mi_stats_main
getting stats via mi_heap_visit_blocks is just too expensive cpu-wise.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the public interfaces and the existing mi_heap_visit_blocks path mentioned in the issue. Determine how read-only access could expose thread-local statistics and _mi_stats_main without requiring the expensive traversal; done means both statistics sources are publicly accessible with the intended CPU cost and safety guarantees.
