autotools: Make valgrind actually check for leaks

Browse Source 
Problem with libtools is that it produces shell scripts which
then set LD_LIBRARY_PATH and execute actual binary (hidden in
.libs dir). Therefore, running 'valgring ./testbinary' doesn't do
anything useful (beside checking for memleaks in shell). We want
to use `libtool --mode=execute valgrind ./testbinary`.

With that fixed, next step is to make valgrind return a non-zero
value if a memleak is detected (--error-exitcode=). And to show
individual memleaks let's use --leak-check=full.
