Summary:
If not using `-Wl,--gc-sections`, a whole lot of unused `sanitizer_common` code
and related static variables are pulled into the shared library.
Keep the binary size smaller, and its memory footprint smaller as well, by
using the compiler flags `-ffunction-section` & `-fdata-sections` by default,
as well as the linker flags `-Wl,--gc-sections`.
Current experiments show a large discrepency between binary sizes generated
by gcc (big) and clang (small). I am not sure yet how I can make a test that
would encompass both, so it's an outstanding work item.
