This PR adds memory leak detection to the CI pipeline using AddressSanitizer (ASAN) and LeakSanitizer (LSAN). It also include local dev how-to placed inside the Readme.

Furthermore, just by running it we've caught a leak (very small one of 10B) in uri usage.

This confirms the automation is working and usefull.

Changes

Build System

• Added --enable-sanitizers configure option to enable ASAN/LSAN
• When enabled, automatically adds appropriate compiler and linker flags
• Default build behavior unchanged (sanitizers are opt-in)

CI Pipeline

• Added new workflow .github/workflows/asan.yml
• Runs on ubuntu-latest for all pushes and pull requests
• Builds memtier_benchmark with sanitizers enabled
• Executes full test suite with leak detection:
  • OSS TCP and TLS (v1.2, v1.3)
  • OSS-CLUSTER TCP and TLS
• Build fails if any memory leaks or errors are detected

Test Dependencies

• Removed external mbdirector dependency given it conflicted with rltest versioning
• Replaced with local implementation in tests/mb.py
• Upgraded rltest from 0.6.0 to >=0.7.17

Testing

All tests pass cleanly with ASAN/LSAN enabled, confirming no memory leaks in the current codebase.

Local verification:

./configure --enable-sanitizers
make -j
ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=1 ./tests/run_tests.sh
