test-delta: read input into a heap buffer

We currently read the input to test-delta by mmap()-ing it.
However, memory-checking tools like valgrind and ASan are
less able to detect reads/writes past the end of an mmap'd
buffer, because the OS is likely to give us extra bytes to
pad out the final page size. So instead, let's read into a
heap buffer.

As a bonus, this also makes it possible to write tests with
empty bases, as mmap() will complain about a zero-length
map.

This is based on a patch by Jann Horn <jannh@google.com>
which actually aligned the data at the end of a page, and
followed it with another page marked with mprotect(). That
would detect problems even without a tool like ASan, but it
was significantly more complex and may have introduced
portability problems. By comparison, this approach pushes
the complexity onto existing memory-checking tools.

Note that this could be done even more simply by using
strbuf_read_file(), but that would defeat the purpose:
strbufs generally overallocate (and at the very least
include a trailing NUL which we do not care about), which
would defeat most memory checkers.
