[RFC] [PATCH V1] framework/*: Add function to support ASan test

[Owen Hilyard]

Am I missing where this is disabled for performance tests? Both ASAN and
LSAN have a large performance impact, especially in any code that allocates
a lot of memory. I have no objections to using this in functional testing,
since performance doesn't matter that much there.

I also can't tell if this changes the json output for a test suite. If an
asan failure does not cause a test case/suite to fail, (which I think it
should), then we need to have that information available in
test_results.json, probably as a new key under the per-crb output. If an
asan failure does cause the test case/suite to fail, then I don't think we
need extra output.

Finally, I think the config file needs to describe all of the options and
what their valid values are, nic_single_core_perf.cfg is a good example of
this. Also, I would prefer to avoid embedding json in the config files if
possible, and I think that we might be able to have the start and end
values for each of the sanitizers be stored as a pair, so we would have
something like this:

lsan_bounds=LeakSanitizer, SUMMARY
asan_bounds=AddressSanitizer, SUMMARY

That would avoid needing to use json parsing and you could just access by
index.
