gitlab-ci: Use MALLOC_CHECK_ and MALLOC_PERTURB_ env variables in tests

Linux glibc supports a malloc implementation that is allows to be tunable using
environment variables, to check allocation issues.

When MALLOC_CHECK_ is set to 3, a diagnostic message is printed on stderr and
the program is aborted.

Setting the MALLOC_PERTURB_ environment variable causes the malloc functions in
to return memory which has been wiped and initialized with the byte value of the
environment variable.

So use this features when running tests in order to catch better memory errors.
