Well, it turns out that this wasn't a good idea.  It cost me
at least an hour extra to find a good recipe to reproduce bug
#46545 (https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?46545), before realizing
that --enable-debug was influencing the results.

When wishing to use MALLOC_CHECK_ and MALLOC_PERTURB_, the
user wants to be in full control, nano shouldn't override
the given values.  So I will undo that commit.
