test: fix flakiness of stringbytes-external

The tests used to rely on precise timing of when a JavaScript object would be garbage collected to ensure that there is enough memory available on the system. Switch the test to use a malloc/free pair instead. Ref: #5945 Ref: #6039 Ref: #6073 PR-URL: #6705 Reviewed-By: James M Snell <[email protected]>
