Currently, the ASan executables built with -O0 are unnecessarily slow.
The main reason is that ASan instrumentation pass inserts redundant
checks around promotable allocas. These allocas do not get instrumented
under -O1 because they get converted to virtual registered by mem2reg.
With this patch, ASan instrumentation pass will only instrument non
promotable allocas, giving us a speedup of 39% on a collection of
benchmarks with -O0. (There is no measurable speedup at -O1.)

This commit changes the way we get fake stack from ASan runtime
(to find use-after-return errors) and the way we represent local
variables:
- __asan_stack_malloc function now returns pointer to newly allocated
fake stack frame, or NULL if frame cannot be allocated. It doesn't
take pointer to real stack as an input argument, it is calculated
inside the runtime.
- __asan_stack_free function doesn't take pointer to real stack as
an input argument. Now this function is never called if fake stack
frame wasn't allocated.
- __asan_init version is bumped to reflect changes in the ABI.
- new flag "-asan-stack-dynamic-alloca" allows to store all the
function local variables in a dynamic alloca, instead of the static
one. It reduces the stack space usage in use-after-return mode
(dynamic alloca will not be called if the local variables are stored
in a fake stack), and improves the debug info quality for local
variables (they will not be described relatively to %rbp/%rsp, which
are assumed to be clobbered by function calls). This flag is turned
off by default for now, but I plan to turn it on after more
testing.

After the -asan pass had been split into -asan (function-level) and -asan-module (module-level) some of the
tests have silently stopped working, because they didn't instrument the globals anymore.
We've decided to have every test using both passes, irrespective of the presence of globals in it.

Summary:
Rewrite asan's stack frame layout.
First, most of the stack layout logic is moved into a separte file
to make it more testable and (potentially) useful for other projects.
Second, make the frames more compact by using adaptive redzones
(smaller for small objects, larger for large objects).
Third, try to minimized gaps due to large alignments (this is hypothetical since
today we don't see many stack vars aligned by more than 32).
The frames indeed become more compact, but I'll still need to run more benchmarks
before committing, but I am sking for review now to get early feedback.
This change will be accompanied by a trivial change in compiler-rt tests
to match the new frame sizes.
