[asterisk-dev] Valgrind support in Asterisk Test Suite

[nitesh bansal]

Hi,

I started working on it. Possible options include for running Asterisk
under valgrind:
1. Pass it as a command line argument:
         It has the advantage that you don't need to modify your config
files depending on whether you want to run Asterisk under valgrind or not.
But downside is that you need to modify your test cases

2. Define it in a yaml file
