[PATCH 2/2] test: py: LD_PRELOAD the C++ standard library when using ASan

[Laurent Pinchart]

When the ASan runtime is linked using --as-needed, its dependency on the
C++ standard library is stripped. This results to a failure to properly
handled exceptions when a C++ dynamically loaded .so is used, as in the
Python unit tests that load the libcamera Python module:

AddressSanitizer: CHECK failed: asan_interceptors.cpp:335 "((__interception::real___cxa_throw)) != (0)" (0x0, 0x0) (tid=32679)
    #0 0x7fa2f32e6c19 in CheckUnwind /var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/gcc-13.3.1_p20241025/work/gcc-13-20241025/libsanitizer/asan/asan_rtl.cpp:69

    #2 0x7fa2f3247824 in __interceptor___cxa_throw /var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/gcc-13.3.1_p20241025/work/gcc-13-20241025/libsanitizer/asan/asan_interceptors.cpp:335
    #3 0x7fa2f3247824 in __interceptor___cxa_throw /var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/gcc-13.3.1_p20241025/work/gcc-13-20241025/libsanitizer/asan/asan_interceptors.cpp:334
    #4 0x7fa2efb6da8b in operator() ../../src/py/libcamera/py_main.cpp:157
[...]

The issue has been reported in [1] and so far remains unfixed. Work
around it by preloading the C++ standard library.
