Add "fast_unwind_on_malloc=0" to LSAN_OPTIONS to get more meaningful
stack traces from LSAN. This isn't required under ASAN which will emit
traces such as this one for a leak in "t/t0006-date.sh":
$ ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=1 ./t0006-date.sh -vixd
[...]
Direct leak of 3 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:

Whereas LSAN would emit this instead:
$ ./t0006-date.sh -vixd
[...]
Direct leak of 3 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:
#0 0x4323b8 in malloc (t/helper/test-tool+0x4323b8)

SUMMARY: LeakSanitizer: 3 byte(s) leaked in 1 allocation(s).

Now we'll instead git this sensible stack trace under
LSAN. I.e. almost the same one (but starting with "malloc", as is
usual for LSAN) as under ASAN:
Direct leak of 3 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:
#0 0x4323b8 in malloc (t/helper/test-tool+0x4323b8)
#1 0x7f012af5c4aa in strdup string/strdup.c:42:15

As the option name suggests this does make things slower, e.g. for
t0001-init.sh we're around 10% slower:
$ hyperfine -L v 0,1 'LSAN_OPTIONS=fast_unwind_on_malloc={v} make T=t0001-init.sh' -r 3
Benchmark 1: LSAN_OPTIONS=fast_unwind_on_malloc=0 make T=t0001-init.sh
Time (mean ± σ): 2.135 s ± 0.015 s [User: 1.951 s, System: 0.554 s]
Range (min … max): 2.122 s … 2.152 s 3 runs
Benchmark 2: LSAN_OPTIONS=fast_unwind_on_malloc=1 make T=t0001-init.sh
Time (mean ± σ): 1.981 s ± 0.055 s [User: 1.769 s, System: 0.488 s]
Range (min … max): 1.941 s … 2.044 s 3 runs
Summary
'LSAN_OPTIONS=fast_unwind_on_malloc=1 make T=t0001-init.sh' ran
1.08 ± 0.03 times faster than 'LSAN_OPTIONS=fast_unwind_on_malloc=0 make T=t0001-init.sh'
I think that's more than worth it to get the more meaningful stack
traces, we can always provide LSAN_OPTIONS=fast_unwind_on_malloc=0 for
one-off "fast" runs.
