When ASan currently detects a bug, by default it will only print out the text
of the report to stderr. This patch changes this behavior and writes the full
text of the report to syslog before we terminate the process. It also calls
os_trace (Activity Tracing available on OS X and iOS) with a message saying
that the report is available in syslog. This is useful, because this message
will be shown in the crash log.
For this to work, the patch makes sure we store the full report into
error_message_buffer unconditionally, and it also strips out ANSI escape
sequences from the report (they are used when producing colored reports).
I've initially tried to log to syslog during printing, which is done on Android
right now. The advantage is that if we crash during error reporting or the
produced error does not go through ScopedInErrorReport, we would still get a
(partial) message in the syslog. However, that solution is very problematic on
OS X. One issue is that the logging routine uses GCD, which may spawn a new
thread on its behalf. In many cases, the reporting logic locks threadRegistry,
which leads to deadlocks.

(In addition, add sanitizer_common_libcdep.cc to buildgo.sh to avoid
build failures on Linux.)

Summary:
Teach all sanitizers to call abort() instead of _exit() after printing
an error report, if requested. This behavior is the default on Mac OS.

These changes break both autoconf Mac OS X buildbot (linker errors
due to wrong Makefiles) and CMake buildbot (safestack test failures).

Previously we had to call __sanitizer_cov_dump() from tool-specific
callbacks - instead, let sanitizer_common library handle this in a single place.

Previously, Android target had a logic of duplicating all sanitizer
output to logcat. This change extends it to all posix platforms via
the use of syslog, controlled by log_to_syslog flag. Enabled by
default on Android, off everywhere else.
A bit of cmake magic is required to allow Printf() to call a libc
function. I'm adding a stub implementation to support no-libc builds
like dfsan and safestack.
This is a second attempt. I believe I've fixed all the issues that
prompted the revert: Mac build, and all kinds of non-CMake builds
(there are 3 of those).
