Subject: [PATCH] build: add valgrind ci workflow for memory issue detection

This commit introduces a GitHub Actions workflow (`valgrind.yml`)
to detect memory issues in the `argtable3` project using Valgrind.
The workflow runs on `push` and `pull_request` events targeting
the `master` branch, as well as manually via `workflow_dispatch`.

Purpose:
- Use Valgrind to identify memory leaks and invalid memory accesses.
- Automate memory issue detection during CI to improve code quality.
