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.
This directory currently contains some LLVM support code. This will generally be sent upstream to LLVM in time; for now it lives here. NOTE: the LLVM C++ ABI is subject to between-version breakage and must *never* be exposed to Rust. To allow for easy auditing of that, all Rust-exposed types must be typedef-ed as "LLVMXyz", or "LLVMRustXyz" if they were defined here. Functions that return a failure status and leave the error in the LLVM last error should return an LLVMRustResult rather than an int or anything to avoid confusion. When translating enums, add a single `Other` variant as the first one to allow for new variants to be added. It should abort when used as an input. All other types must not be typedef-ed as such.
