testwolfctypt missing embedded filesystem read-only memory test #6522

Description

On an embedded read-only Linux kernel filesystem such as the ESP32-S3 Xtensa example the testwolfcrypt memory test will return a successful result, but the next base64_test() may unexpectedly fail during a memory access operation. The reason for that failure is completely unrelated to base64 testing.

Specifically, when this const byte good[] array is accessed in Base64_SkipNewline():

WOLFSSL_SMALL_STACK_STATIC const byte good[] = "A+Gd\0\0\0";

... this error occured:

Starting syslogd: OK
Starting klogd: OK
Running sysctl: OK
seedrng: can't create directory '/var/lib/seedrng': Read-only file system
Starting network: OK

There should be a memory test that explicitly catches this.
