This pull request adds a leak suppression for unixODBC in the LSAN configuration and introduces logic to LD_PRELOAD the ODBC library within the test suite to ensure proper address resolution. Feedback focuses on improving the portability of the hardcoded library path, refining the LD_PRELOAD environment variable assignment to avoid leading colons, and correcting a typo in the documentation.

This was a leak in <=unixODBC 2.3.15 where a cache was allocated but not returned. Using the suite.pm for the connect engine we see if the connect engine is compiled with ASAN (that includes LeakSanitizer) and we check the unixODBC version to see if it is a version (currently unreleased) that has a inst_logClose symbol which is part of the unixODBC leak fix. If it is not a leak fixed version, a LD_PRELOAD of the unixODBC library occurs so that the LeakSanitizer suppression can resolve the save_ini_cache entry. Alterates considered: 1. __clear_ini_cache in libodbcinst (2.3.12+) is an interface, for which there is no header define. A CMake would need to do full compile and link to check its existance. Workable, just wanted a simplier solution. It looked like it shoud be a better interface in unixODBC. 2. could skip asan tests on CONNECT/ODBC, but this is skipping coverage we want.

unixodbc-dev has a memory leak. Apply patch from upstream. This will arrive in Debian stable eventtually https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1136221 Added the libodbccr (cursor) libraries to the MSAN since they where built. Maybe be used at some stage. Workaround still in review queue - MariaDB/server#5050

This was a leak in unixODBC 2.3.14 where a cache was allocated but not returned. The LD_PRELOAD is so the resolution will be aware of the resolution for save_ini_cache that caused the leak.
