fix: Switch GCC ASAN to -mcmodel=medium and reduce TSAN build parallelism

- Change -mcmodel=large to -mcmodel=medium for GCC ASAN builds. The large
  model inflates code size with 64-bit absolute addresses, pushing the
  binary past the 2GB limit where GCC's pre-compiled CRT startup code
  (crtstuff.c) can't reach data sections with 32-bit relocations.
  Medium model keeps code compact (CRT-compatible) while allowing data
  beyond 2GB.

- Add nproc_subtract=20 for TSAN builds to reduce build parallelism.
  TSAN instrumentation significantly increases per-compilation-unit memory
  usage, causing OOM on CI runners with high parallelism.

- Plumb nproc_subtract from the CI matrix through to the build workflow
  so individual configurations can control their parallelism.

- Temporarily restrict CI matrix to only the two previously-failing
  configs (gcc-13 asan-ubsan, clang-20 tsan-ubsan) to validate fixes
  without burning CI resources on passing configs.
