Add LLVM realtime sanitizer This is a new attempt at adding the [LLVM real-time sanitizer](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/RealtimeSanitizer.html) to rust. Previously this was attempted in https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3766. Since then the `sanitize` attribute was introduced in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/142681 and it is a lot more flexible than the old `no_santize` attribute. This allows adding real-time sanitizer without the need for a new attribute, like it was proposed in the RFC. Because i only add a new value to a existing command line flag and to a attribute i don't think an MCP is necessary. Currently real-time santizer is usable in rust code with the [rtsan-standalone](https://crates.io/crates/rtsan-standalone) crate. This downloads or builds the sanitizer runtime and then links it into the rust binary. The first commit adds support for more detailed sanitizer information. The second commit then actually adds real-time sanitizer. The third adds a warning against using real-time sanitizer with async functions, cloures and blocks because it doesn't behave as expected when used with async functions. I am not sure if this is actually wanted, so i kept it in a seperate commit. The fourth commit adds the documentation for real-time sanitizer.
The codegen crate contains the code to convert from MIR into LLVM IR,
and then from LLVM IR into machine code. In general it contains code
that runs towards the end of the compilation process.
For more information about how codegen works, see the rustc dev guide.
