This is related to #680 (fixing UB). There are also a bunch of non-intentional memory leaks in analysis/test. These are not UB, so they shouldn't be causing any unexpected behavior, but there's no good reason to have them, and they clutter up the miri output when looking for UB. We should only keep the intentional leaks that are there for testing how we handle leaks.

Fixes #681.

This fixes all of the memory leaks in `analysis/test`.

There was one that was intentional (`no_owner(0)`), but I freed that in `main_0` immediately after the `no_owner(0)` call instead.

Fixes #685.

This makes `analysis/test` `miri`-compatible when running with `--features miri`.  This is done by using a monomorphic `printf` shim, since `miri` can't handle variadic functions like `printf`.  Since all uses of `printf` in `analysis/test` are monomorphic (they all have the same format string), we can substitute a `fn printf` that is non-`extern "C"`, non-variadic (and thus `miri`-compatible), and that still has the same behavior for its call sites.

Then we add a test in `c2rust-pdg` that runs `miri` on `analysis/test` to ensure it stays UB-free.

However, we don't yet run this test by default (it's `#[ignore]`d for now) as there are issues with running `miri` in CI (it installs `xargo` every time and I'm getting a permission denied error (not sure from quite what exactly), and it'd be better to install `xargo` upfront, not on every run).  Thus, I'm `#[ignore]`ing it for now in 4152d34.  We can get it to run in CI correctly later in another PR, but I want to merge this now and avoid over-complicating it here.  The test can still be manually run with `cargo test -p c2rust-pdg -- --ignored analysis_test_miri`.  See #698 for the tracking issue to re-enable this test by default.

The new test passing is blocked on:
* #683 (f ixes #680)
* #684 (f ixes #681)

It would also be nice to f ix #682, but that's not completely necessary for this (though it would create a much less noisy output).
