gcc requires -static-libasan in order to ensure that Address Sanitizer's
library is the first one loaded. However, this leads to build failures
on clang, when building via:
make LLVM=1 -C tools/testing/selftests
However, clang already does the right thing by default: it statically
links the Address Sanitizer if -fsanitize is specified. Therefore,
simply omit -static-libasan for clang builds. And leave behind a
comment, because the whole reason for static linking might not be
obvious.
