Add common and base test scripts for nightly AddressSanitizer testing

The common file is very simple and sets the environment as described in

chapel-lang/chapel/blob/master/doc/rst/developer/bestPractices/Sanitizers.rst

Sanitizers
==========

Sanitizers are a compiler feature that support instrumenting programs to do
dynamic analysis to catch many classes of bugs at runtime.

AddressSanitizer (ASan) is a fast memory error detector. It consists of a
compiler instrumentation module and a run-time library. ASan is similar to
valgrind (`valgrind.rst`) in that it can help identify memory errors. ASan is
much faster than valgrind, but does require recompilation. Note that only GCC
and Clang support sanitizers.

How-to
------

To use AddressSanitizer with Chapel (compiler and executables):

.. code-block:: bash

     export CHPL_MEM=cstdlib

The actual test script starts with standard config by sourcing common.bash
and fires off nightly with 6 tasks per node as we do in other chapcs
correctness tests.
