[PATCH v2 00/26] Fix memory leaks (was reference count checking for thread)

Use leak sanitizer and reference count checking to fix outstanding
memory leaks in "perf top" or those discovered in "perf test". Also
fix address sanitizer issues discovered.
Add reference count checking to thread after first refactoring bits of
the code, such as making the thread red-black tree non-invasive (so
the thread it references is easier to reference count, rather than
having 3 potential references). Part of this refactoring also removes
the dead thread list because if we held a reference here the threads
would never die and anything else has questionable
correctness.
addr_location is made into its own C/header file to capture the init,
exit and copy code.
Refactor and change callchain_cursor to come from a pthread key so
that a destructor can run on pthreads exiting.
Fix additional outstanding memory leak and reference count issues to
the point that "perf test" compiled with address sanitizer but without
libtraceevent passes all but one test - libtraceevent reports leaks
within its own code, most likely as it isn't compiled with
sanitizers. The remaining failing test is "68: Test dwarf unwind" and
that has address sanitizer issues as it uses memcpy to access the
stack within the process - we likely want to skip parts of the test
with sanitizers enabled.
v2. Include extra fixes for callchain cursor, addr2line and related
"perf top" fixes, as well as the 2 patches in:
