Subject: [PATCH] build: add asan memory check ci workflow

This commit adds a GitHub Actions workflow (`asan.yml`) to detect
memory issues in the `argtable3` project using AddressSanitizer
(ASan). The workflow triggers on `push` and `pull_request` events
targeting the `main` branch. It builds the project with ASan and
runs tests to identify memory errors, including leaks and invalid
accesses.

Purpose:
- Ensure memory safety by detecting issues during CI.
- Improve code quality and reliability with automated checks.
