[asan] Move instrumented null-terminated strings to a special section, LLVM part

On Darwin, simple C null-terminated constant strings normally end up in the __TEXT,__cstring section of the resulting Mach-O binary. When instrumented with ASan, these strings are transformed in a way that they cannot be in __cstring (the linker unifies the content of this section and strips extra NUL bytes, which would break instrumentation), and are put into a generic __const section. This breaks some of the tools that we have: Some tools need to scan all C null-terminated strings in Mach-O binaries, and scanning all the contents of __const has a large performance penalty. This patch instead introduces a special section, __asan_cstring which will now hold the instrumented null-terminated strings.
