sandbox: Add -M option to disable mcheck at runtime
Add a command-line option (-M or --no_mcheck) to disable mcheck heap protection at runtime. When mcheck is disabled, the wrapper functions pass through directly to the underlying allocator without adding headers or checking for corruption. This is useful for debugging when mcheck interferes with test results, such as when memory-leak detection reports false positives due to accumulated allocations from other tests. Changes: - Add disable_mcheck flag to sandbox_state - Add mcheck_set_disabled() function to mcheck API - Modify dlmalloc wrappers to bypass mcheck when disabled - Add stub for when MCHECK_HEAP_PROTECTION is not enabled - Document the new option in sandbox.rst Co-developed-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <simon.glass@canonical.com>
