[CLIENT-3915] Reduce the number of reported stack traces for leaks in the valgrind logs. This should make it easier to create a suppressions file that isn't too large.#1097

… to save. When running Python with valgrind, PYTHONMALLOC=malloc, and the default suppressions file in python/cpython, most of the false positive leaks are possibly lost and a few are reachable. I believe memory leaks are more likely to happen in the Python client with definitely lost leaks; I don't think the client moves the pointer to heap allocated memory that much, which would lead to possibly lost leaks. Also I don't believe reachable leaks would usually lead to an out of memory error.

Only show definite leaks to reduce the number of suppressions we need to save. When running
python3 -c "1"installed with valgrind,PYTHONMALLOC=malloc, and the default suppressions file in thepython/cpythonrepo, most of the false positive leaks are categorized as "possibly lost" and a few are "reachable". I believe memory leaks are more likely to happen in the Python client because of "definitely lost" leaks; I don't think that the client code usually moves pointers of heap allocated memory to point somewhere in between that section, which would lead to "possibly lost" leaks.I also don't believe reachable leaks would usually lead to an out of memory error.
There is an alternate PR for this ticket that attempts to create a suppressions file with all the "possibly lost" and "reachable" leaks found from running the dev tests, but that file is extremely large. #881

Always generate suppressions in case new ones needs to be added to the existing suppressions
