[issue21037] add an AddressSanitizer build option

[Charles-François Natali]

New submission from Charles-François Natali:

Adding a compile option to build with ASAN (https://code.google.com/p/address-sanitizer) could allow us to catch many memory-related errors (stack/buffer overflows, etc).

Of course, the second step would be to setup buildbots to use this flag.
