Subject: [PATCH v1 06/10] kfuzztest: add KFuzzTest sample fuzz targets

From: Ethan Graham <ethangraham@...gle.com>

Add two simple fuzz target samples to demonstrate the KFuzzTest API and
provide basic self-tests for the framework.

These examples showcase how a developer can define a fuzz target using
the FUZZ_TEST(), constraint, and annotation macros, and serve as runtime
sanity checks for the core logic. For example, they test that
out-of-bounds memory accesses into poisoned padding regions are
correctly detected in a KASAN build.

These have been tested by writing syzkaller-generated inputs into their
debugfs 'input' files and verifying that the correct KASAN reports were
triggered.
