Summary:
ICF prevented by removing unnamed_addr and local_unnamed_addr for all sanitized
globals.
Also in general unnamed_addr is not valid here as address now is important for
ODR violation detector and redzone poisoning.
Before the patch ICF on globals caused:
1. false ODR reports when we register global on the same address more than once
2. globals buffer overflow if we fold variables of smaller type inside of large
type. Then the smaller one will poison redzone which overlaps with the larger one.

On Darwin, simple C null-terminated constant strings normally end up in the __TEXT,__cstring section of the resulting Mach-O binary. When instrumented with ASan, these strings are transformed in a way that they cannot be in __cstring (the linker unifies the content of this section and strips extra NUL bytes, which would break instrumentation), and are put into a generic __const section. This breaks some of the tools that we have: Some tools need to scan all C null-terminated strings in Mach-O binaries, and scanning all the contents of __const has a large performance penalty. This patch instead introduces a special section, __asan_cstring which will now hold the instrumented null-terminated strings.
