test: Add some tests for dlmalloc

We know or assume that dlmalloc itself works correctly, but there is
still the possibility that the U-Boot integration has bugs.

Add a test suite for the malloc() implementation, covering:
- Basic malloc/free operations
- Edge cases (zero size, NULL pointer handling)
- realloc() in various scenarios
- memalign() with different alignments
- Multiple allocations and fragmentation
- malloc_enable_testing() failure simulation
- Large allocations (1MB, 16MB)
- Full pool allocation (CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN plus environment size)
- Fill pool test with random sizes
