build: fix sanitizers

The recommended way to enable sanitizers nowadays is to add
`-fsanitize=*` as a compiler and linking flags.

Also fix some warnings and remove some targets from "all" to speed up
builds.

Bumping macosx version to 11 since that seems to be necessary for asan
to work.

Add CI check to verify that address santizier is turned on for unit
tests

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a build-system maintenance change. It updates how the project enables memory and behavior error detectors (AddressSanitizer and UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer) so they work with modern compilers, adds a CI check to confirm the sanitizer is actually active, bumps the minimum macOS version for compatibility, and removes some test libraries from the default build to speed things up. There is no indication it fixes a security vulnerability or introduces a security weakness.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal build hygiene. If reviewing for supply-chain risk, verify the CI check reliably detects ASan absence and that the new flags are applied consistently across all test targets.

Security signals we found

01

No changes to firmware or host code that processes secrets or untrusted input

02

No bug fixes, bounds checks, or cryptographic changes present in the diff

03

Sanitizers are testing/quality tools, not runtime security controls in shipped firmware

04

Commit message frames the change as build tooling improvement only
