  -----------
  [AddressSanitizer] Remove memory effects from functions

If left as-is, subsequent optimizations might utilize the possible
memory effects and optimize-out the instrumentation. Think of the
following case:
```
  store i8 4, ptr %shadow
  call void @llvm.lifetime.start.p0(i64 4, ptr %local)
  %28 = call void @foo(ptr %local)
  store i8 -8, ptr %shadow
  call void @llvm.lifetime.end.p0(i64 4, ptr %local)
```

where `foo` is an external function with `memory(argmem: write)`. A pass
such as DeadStoreElimination is allowed to remove the initial store,
which might fail sanitizer checks within `foo`.
