[TS-4119] LuaJIT and ASAN do not work well together

Description

This is a long outstanding issue, where LuaJIT and ASAN is not cooperating well. I see two options to this:

1) We fix LuaJIT.

2) We continue to make LuaJIT optional, with an option to compile with regular Lua libraries.

#2 is probably the easiest, at the price of worse performance. The downside being that we don't test LuaJIT under ASAN.
