Consider using ASAN-instrumented CPython build in CI over 1 year ago

AI Summary: The task is to improve the Continuous Integration (CI) process for the python-isal project by using pre-built ASAN-instrumented CPython docker images instead of building CPython from source within the CI pipeline. This will simplify the CI setup and improve reliability of the AddressSanitizer (ASAN) tests, which detect memory errors in the C extension code.

Complexity: 3/5
