Hi, folks!
Some more thoughts below.

Maybe it is worth to add also "nonnull-attribute" to the ignore options:

```
LSAN_OPTIONS="abort_on_error=1" src/luajit -e 'error("bad usage", 3)'
/home/burii/builds_workspace/luajit/gh-8473-ubsan/src/lj_buf.h:75:25: runtime error: null pointer passed as argument 1, which is declared to never be null
/usr/include/string.h:44:28: note: nonnull attribute specified here
```

Here, `memcpy()` gets the NULL pointer as the first argument and the
`len` == 0. So there are no problems here. Also, the nullability
violation is not a UB, as mentioned in the documentation.

Thoughts?
