[Tarantool-patches] [PATCH luajit v2] memprof: report JIT-side allocations as internal

There are cases when the memory profiler attempts to attribute
allocations triggered by the JIT engine recording phase
with a Lua function to be recorded. In this case,
lj_debug_frameline() may return BC_NOPOS (i.e. a negative value).

Previously, these situations were ignored and the profiler
reported, that the source line was equal to zero.

This patch adjusts profiler behavior to treat allocations
described above as internal by dumping ASOURCE_INT if
lj_debug_frameline() returns a negative value.

Resolves tarantool/tarantool#5679

Issue: https://github.com/tarantool/tarantool/issues/5679
Branch: https://github.com/tarantool/luajit/tree/shishqa/gh-5679-report-jit-allocations-as-internal
CI: https://github.com/tarantool/tarantool/tree/shishqa/gh-5679-report-jit-allocations-as-internal

Changes in v2:
  - Fixed commit title to fit in width of 50 symbols;
  - Rebased to the branch [1];
  - Reused default_payload() as a payload to test patch behavior.
