Add KASAN support for detecting heap memory safety bugs (buffer overflows, underflows, use-after-free) at runtime using compiler instrumentation and shadow memory. Gated behind CONFIG_IDF_EXPERIMENTAL_FEATURES, with touch points kept to esp_system and heap so other components stay untouched. - Core runtime (esp_system/kasan.c, esp_kasan.h): nibble-based shadow memory in DRAM, poison/unpoison, per-access validation, and __asan_* stubs; hot-path stubs in IRAM so they stay valid with the flash cache off. Shadow init runs before heap bring-up. - Heap integration (heap/heap_kasan*.c): alloc/free hooks add redzones, a quarantine FIFO, and shadow updates. - Panic handling: disable checks once at the panic handler entry so backtrace and stack dumps can read redzones without nested reports. - Build system: -fsanitize=kernel-address for app code, with HAL, SoC, esp_rom, SPI flash, esp_hw_support, bootloader_support, FreeRTOS, and heap internals excluded from instrumentation. - Test app (tools/test_apps/system/kasan_test): Unity tests for overflow, underflow, use-after-free, and all sized __asan_* stubs, with halt and no-halt configurations. - Docs: document KASAN in the heap memory debugging guide (EN and CN).
