[compiler-rt] [tsan] Change personality CHECK to Printf() + Die() (PR #142821)

[Thurston Dang via llvm-commits]

https://github.com/thurstond created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/142821

Currently, if TSan needs to disable ASLR but is unable to do so, it aborts with a cryptic message:
```
    ThreadSanitizer: CHECK failed: tsan_platform_linux.cpp:290 "((personality(old_personality | ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE))) != ((-1))"
```
and a segfault (https://github.com/google/sanitizers/issues/837#issuecomment-2939267531).

This patch replaces the CHECK with more user-friendly diagnostics and suggestions via printf, followed by Die().
