RFR: JDK-8305090: Some NMT tests broken when running under ASan

This change fixes or skips some NMT tests when running under ASan, as well as fixing a leak.

- `allocator_may_return_null=1` is added as the default is `0`, meaning ASan will never return `nullptr` and will instead crash. NMT tests check that large allocations return `nullptr` so those do not work under ASan currently.
- We skip tests that intentionally access memory outside the allocated range or do things that ASan will catch, causing the tests to fail.
- Fix a memory leak in `test_nmtpreinit.cpp`.
- Enable coredumps to work on some platforms with ASan, some other tests rely on this working.

All of this is related to ASan and NMT, so I opted to do it in a single change.
