Maintain supported sanitizers as a target property
In an effort to remove a hard-coded allow-list for target-sanitizer support correspondence, this PR moves the configuration to the target options.
Perhaps the one notable change made in this PR is this doc-comment:
```rust
/// The sanitizers supported by this target
///
/// Note that the support here is at a codegen level. If the machine code with sanitizer
/// enabled can generated on this target, but the necessary supporting libraries are not
/// distributed with the target, the sanitizer should still appear in this list for the target.
```
Previously the target would typically be added to the allow-list at the same time as the supporting runtime libraries are shipped for the target. However whether we ship the runtime libraries or not needn't be baked into the compiler; and if we don't users will receive a significantly more directed error about library not being found.
Fixes #81802
