r187827, which changed the linkage of ASan-generated globals from 'private' to
'internal', has also caused a 1.5% size regression because those globals end up
in the symbol table:

% cat a.cc
int x, y, z;
int main() { }
% clang -fsanitize=address  a.cc && nm a.out | grep asan_gen
000000000046f178 r __asan_gen_
000000000046724b r __asan_gen_1
000000000046d48a r __asan_gen_2
000000000046f17d r __asan_gen_3


According to Kostya, "for chrome's content_shell the size increase is 1.5%
(6Mb), which is huge."
