[llvm-dev] LibFuzzer syntax sugar flag

[Kostya Serebryany via llvm-dev]

on the one hand, -fsanitize=fuzzer might indeed be confusing as it behaves
in somewhat different way compared to other sanitizers
Major difference: links in a library with main()
On the other hand, I like "-fsanitize=fuzzer,address" more than
"-fsanitize=address
-ffuzzer"
