[ASAN][sanitizers][win] Allow windows-asan to be built with /MDd and intercept functions from the debug runtimes. (#77840)

It turns out this works _mostly_ fine, even when mixing debug versions
of asan with programs built with the release runtime. Using /MT (or
/MTd) with a dynamically linked asan has never really worked that well,
and I am planning on opening a PR that will completely remove the
static-asan configuration for windows and make programs linked with the
static CRT/runtime work with the DLL version of asan. This is better
than the current situation because the static linked version of asan
doesn't work well on windows if there are multiple DLLs in the process
using it.

The check for building asan with only /MD or /MT has been removed. It
was in AsanDoesNotSupportStaticLinkage, but was checking for debug CRTs,
not static linkage. The kind of static linkage this function is supposed
to check for (on linux for example) doesn't really exist on windows.

Note: There is one outstanding issue with this approach, if you mix a
/MDd DLLs and /MD dlls in the same process then the "real" function
called by asan interceptors will be the same for calls from both
contexts, potentially screwing up things like errno. This only happens
if you mix /MD and /MDd in the same process, because otherwise asan
won't find functions from both runtimes to intercept. We are working on
a fix for this, and it mainly hits with the CRT functions exported from
both ucrtbase and ntdll.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
