Okay, how about this direction. Let's add a sanitizer_common flag which
controls whether summaries are printed. The sanitizers can check the flag
and decide not to call the API (ie., to avoid requiring a buffer) and the
default implementation of the API checks the flag again and does nothing if
called with the flag off. Then we turn that flag on with the RUN lines to
test our summary emission, but it defaults to off for users that don't want
it.

+cc Kostya. Does that work for both of you? I agree with Richard that (my
idea of "normal") normal users would find this output redundant, hence the
idea to default the flag to off.
