cmake: consolidate Valgrind option
OpenSSL doesn't initialize bytes on purpose in order to generate additional entropy. Valgrind isn't too happy about that though, causing it to generate warninings about various issues regarding use of uninitialized bytes. We traditionally had some infrastructure to silence these errors in our OpenSSL stream implementation, where we invoke the Valgrind macro `VALGRIND_MAKE_MEMDEFINED` in various callbacks that we provide to OpenSSL. Naturally, we only include these instructions if a preprocessor define "VALGRIND" is set, and that in turn is only set if passing "-DVALGRIND" to CMake. We do that in our usual Azure pipelines, but we in fact forgot to do this in our nightly build. As a result, we get a slew of warnings for these nightly builds, but not for our normal builds. To fix this, we could just add "-DVALGRIND" to our nightly builds. But starting with commit d827b11b (tests: execute leak checker via CTest directly, 2019-06-28), we do have a secondary variable that directs whether we want to use memory sanitizers for our builds. As such, every user wishing to use Valgrind for our tests needs to pass both options "VALGRIND" and "USE_LEAK_CHECKER", which is cumbersome and error prone, as can be seen by our own builds. Instead, let's consolidate this into a single option, removing the old "-DVALGRIND" one. Instead, let's just add the preprocessor directive if USE_LEAK_CHECKER equals "valgrind" and remove "-DVALGRIND" from our own pipelines.
