 It would be nice to have a --enable-memory-poisoning configure switch to
 make av_malloc() fill the memory with arbitrary random data. This could be
 enabled by default in tests/fate.sh:configure to do better memory testing
 on all FATE instances without needing an advanced an slow tool like
 valgrind.

 Note: we should fill the requested size *and* padding.
