The default implementation of MLD_ALLOC and MLD_FREE uses stack
allocation, which the compiler can assume not to fail. This means
that CBMC does not exercise the cleanup paths which handle fallible
dynamic allocation -- a significant proof gap.

This commit changes the configuration uses for the CBMC proofs
to use the (instrumented) calls to malloc/free for MLD_ALLOC/MLD_FREE.

Importantly, we set --malloc-may-fail to model allocation as fallible,
and --malloc-fail-null to return NULL in case of allocation failure.

Thanks @hanno-becker. The changes itself look good to me, but CBMC fails due to timeouts. Marking as draft until we can resolve that.

This would be good to have for v1. Marking v1 so at least we're forced to make a deliberate decision about it.

Leaves CC set as "clang" for compilation and testing
on macOS.

Always use gcc for pre-processing with goto-cc to get
consistent C header files on all platforms, including
macOS/Darwin.

Ported from mlkem-native (pq-code-package/mlkem-native#1780,
commit b828ccdb28db111695837efdbb3a85338b5ef112).

The default implementation of MLD_ALLOC and MLD_FREE uses stack
allocation, which the compiler can assume not to fail. This means
that CBMC does not exercise the cleanup paths which handle fallible
dynamic allocation -- a significant proof gap.

This commit changes the configuration uses for the CBMC proofs
to use the (instrumented) calls to malloc/free for MLD_ALLOC/MLD_FREE.

Importantly, we set --malloc-may-fail to model allocation as fallible,
and --malloc-fail-null to return NULL in case of allocation failure.

With fallible malloc instrumentation, the sign_signature_internal
proof at CBMC_OBJECT_BITS=9 became dramatically slower, timing out
in CI for ML-DSA-65 with MLD_CONFIG_REDUCE_RAM (>1800s) and coming
close to the timeout for ML-DSA-87 (1362s).

Raising CBMC_OBJECT_BITS to 12 -- matching the other allocating
top-level proofs such as mld_attempt_signature_generation and
sign_pk_from_sk -- speeds the proof up by more than an order of
magnitude. Local timings (Apple Silicon, z3):

  parameter set     object-bits 9    object-bits 12
  44                 56s               50s
  44 (REDUCE_RAM)    n/a               12s
  65                101s               87s
  65 (REDUCE_RAM)   368s               17s
  87                n/a               129s
  87 (REDUCE_RAM)   n/a                 9s

The object-bits setting determines how many bits of a pointer CBMC
reserves for the object identifier. At 9 bits the pointer encoding
is at capacity for this harness, forcing the SMT solver to reason
about near-aliasing pointer encodings; at 12 bits object IDs are
sparse and aliasing is cheaply refuted.

Quite a peformance hit, but probably tolerable at least temporarily. @hanno-becker, is this ready for review?
