Instead of creating global variables for source locations and global names,
just create metadata nodes and strings. They will be transformed into actual
globals in the instrumentation pass (if necessary). This approach is more
flexible:
1) we don't have to ensure that our custom globals survive all the optimizations
2) if globals are discarded for some reason, we will simply ignore metadata for them
and won't have to erase corresponding globals
3) metadata for source locations can be reused for other purposes: e.g. we may
attach source location metadata to alloca instructions and provide better descriptions
for stack variables in ASan error reports.
No functionality change.

Currently ASan instrumentation pass creates a string with global name
for each instrumented global (to include global names in the error report). Global
name is already mangled at this point, and we may not be able to demangle it
at runtime (e.g. there is no __cxa_demangle on Android).
Instead, create a string with fully qualified global name in Clang, and pass it
to ASan instrumentation pass in llvm.asan.globals metadata. If there is no metadata
for some global, ASan will use the original algorithm.
This fixes https://code.google.com/p/address-sanitizer/issues/detail?id=264.

See https://code.google.com/p/address-sanitizer/issues/detail?id=299 for the
original feature request.
Introduce llvm.asan.globals metadata, which Clang (or any other frontend)
may use to report extra information about global variables to ASan
instrumentation pass in the backend. This metadata replaces
llvm.asan.dynamically_initialized_globals that was used to detect init-order
bugs. llvm.asan.globals contains the following data for each global:
1) source location (file/line/column info);
2) whether it is dynamically initialized;
3) whether it is blacklisted (shouldn't be instrumented).
Source location data is then emitted in the binary and can be picked up
by ASan runtime in case it needs to print error report involving some global.
For example:
0x... is located 4 bytes to the right of global variable 'C::array' defined in '/path/to/file:17:8' (0x...) of size 40
These source locations are printed even if the binary doesn't have any
debug info.
This is an ABI-breaking change. ASan initialization is renamed to
__asan_init_v4(). Pre-built libraries compiled with older Clang will not work
with the fresh runtime.
