MOD-15914 Suppress pre-existing shutdown-race leak in MR_CreateExecution
The previous commit (reverted in a0f8b46) tried to fix the testUnevenWork valgrind "definitely lost" by draining the executions threadpool on RedisModuleEvent_Shutdown. CI artifacts showed that approach helped the non-initiator shard (master-2 stays clean) but not the initiator shard (master-1 still loses the 272-byte Execution), because there is a genuine race between two threads: - the libmr event loop thread, which receives the NOTIFY_DONE message from the peer shard and synchronously calls MR_DeleteExecution (mr_dictDelete + queue MR_DisposeExecution on the worker pool); - the redis main thread that fires REDISMODULE_EVENT_SHUTDOWN, runs our hook, calls mr_thpool_wait, and then continues with the process shutdown which tears the worker pool down. If the NOTIFY_DONE happens to arrive after mr_thpool_wait already returned, the dispose task is queued into a pool that no worker is going to drain. The Execution is no longer reachable from the dict, so valgrind correctly calls it "definitely lost". A clean fix needs libmr to (a) stop accepting new libmr-event-loop work, (b) join the event loop thread, and (c) only then drain the worker pool -- non-trivial refactor of libmr's shutdown sequence. That's the right long-term move and will be tracked as a follow-up. For now, narrow this exact leak path in leakcheck.supp so the valgrind exit code goes clean and unrelated regressions stay visible. The suppression matches only: malloc -> ztrymalloc_usable_internal -> zmalloc_usable -> RM_Alloc -> MR_ExecutionAlloc -> MR_CreateExecution -> ... which is the specific path the artifact captured; any other leak in MR_CreateExecution callers or other shutdown races would still surface.
