    configure.ac: add --enable-sanitize option · 8b5d477a

    Enable code sanitizers by adding -fsanitize=$foo flags for the compiler
    and linker.
    
    In addition, this also disables checking for undefined symbols: running
    the address sanitizer requires additional symbols which should be provided
    by a preloaded libasan.so (preloaded for hooking into malloc & friends
    globally), and the undefined symbols check gets tripped up by that.
    
    Running the tests works normally via `make check`, but shows additional
    failures with the address sanitizer due to memory leaks that seem to be
    mostly leaks in the tests themselves. I believe those failures should
    really be fixed. In the mean-time, you can set
    
    export ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=0
    
    to only check for more serious error types.

    - fail reasonably when an unsupported sanitize flag is given (Eric Engestrom)
