Joseph Ferano ac5c7e9c2b A --sanitize flag, and the attribute without which it measures nothing
ASan is an LLVM pass but instruments only functions carrying
sanitize_address, which clang's C frontend adds and nothing adds to IR
written by hand. Passing -fsanitize=address to the clang run over the
.ll therefore instruments flan_rt.c and not one instruction of Flan: an
out-of-bounds read of a defvar array, built --no-bounds-checks, printed
its garbage and exited 0. With Emit naming an attribute group on every
define, the same program reports global-buffer-overflow in flan.main.

UBSan has no such lever. Its checks are branches the C frontend emits to
__ubsan_handle_*, not a pass, so -fsanitize=undefined covers the runtime
and nothing else; (<< 1 32) still goes unremarked. Recorded where it
will be read rather than discovered again.

The flag does not force -O0 the way --debug does -- the UB worth finding
is what the optimiser does with it -- and it does pull in -g, since a
report with no line costs more than the build. compile_c's cache key now
digests the same cflags list the command line uses, because an
unsanitized flan_rt.o served out of the cache links fine and reports
nothing.
