Subject: [PATCH 4/8] kasan: Bump required compiler version

From: Marco Elver <elver@...gle.com>

Adds config variable CC_HAS_WORKING_NOSANITIZE_ADDRESS, which will be
true if we have a compiler that does not fail builds due to
no_sanitize_address functions. This does not yet mean they work as
intended, but for automated build-tests, this is the minimum
requirement.

For example, we require that __always_inline functions used from
no_sanitize_address functions do not generate instrumentation. On GCC <=
7 this fails to build entirely, therefore we make the minimum version
GCC 8.

v2:
* No longer restrict UBSAN (and KCSAN), since the attributes behave
  differently for different sanitizers. For UBSAN the above case with GCC
  <= 7 actually works fine (no compiler error). So it seems that only
  KASAN is affected by this -- let's limit our restriction to KASAN.
