Every arena reserves a 4GB kernel vmalloc region at creation, and on a
KASAN build that eagerly populates ~512MB of shadow memory per arena. When
several arena tests run in parallel their shadow adds up, exhausts the
memory of a small CI VM and trips the OOM killer during map creation.
Make the dedicated arena tests (arena_* and libarena*) serial so they no
longer pile up in the parallel phase. That alone brings the peak number of
live arenas back within the CI memory budget.
A few other tests such as verifier_arena*, stream and compute_live_registers
create an arena too, but they run inside shared RUN_TESTS()/RUN() suites, so
turning them serial would drag many unrelated subtests along with them.
Leave those as-is.

Summary: The buddy allocator requires the global BPF buddy allocator
to not be already initialized. However, the test currently merely resets
the allocator before the buddy tests instead of destroying it, and the
test worked because the buddy test happened to run first. Properly
destroy the allocator instead of resetting it.

Add code to directly test the output of libarena ASAN tests.
The code reuses testing infrastructure originally for BPF streams
to verify that ASAN emits call stacks when the selftests trigger
a memory error.
Since stderr() testing uses logic from test_progs, it is only
available on the test_progs-based selftest runner. The standalone
runner still uses internal ASAN state to verify access errors are
triaged as expected.

Introduce selftests for the buddy allocator with and without
ASAN. Add the libarena selftests both to the libarena test
runner and to test_progs, so that they are a) available when
libarena is pulled as a standalone library, and b) exercised
along with all other test programs in this directory.
ASAN for libarena requires LLVM 22. Add logic in the top-level
selftests Makefile to only compile the ASAN variant if the
compiler supports it, otherwise skip the test.
