tests: set MALLOC_PERTURB_ to expose memory bugs
glibc wipes malloc(3) memory when the MALLOC_PERTURB_ environment
variable is set. The value of the environment variable determines the
bit pattern used to wipe memory. For more information, see
http://udrepper.livejournal.com/11429.html.
Set MALLOC_PERTURB_ for gtester and qemu-iotests. Note we pick a random
value from 1 to 255 to expose more bugs. If you need to reproduce a
crash use 'show environment' in gdb to extract the MALLOC_PERTURB_
value from a core dump.
Both make check and qemu-iotests pass with MALLOC_PERTURB_ enabled.
