As much as I do genuinely advocate this, I think compiler-rt and asan are
special for two reasons:
1) We can't reasonably run them under msan to find such bugs.
2) The runtimes are also used by GCC
I'm OK if we want a very narrow different rule for these runtimes, as long
as it doesn't grow to include LLVM more generally.
