Originally I'd planned to mix them into existing members, but I think it'd be
better to have dedicated ones. Applied for a few new buildfarm names for:
{gcc,clang}-{-fsanitize=undefined,-fsanitize=address}.
Running with asan found an existing use-after-free bug in pg_waldump (*), a bug
in
dshash_seq_next() next that probably can't be hit in HEAD and a bug in my
shared memory stats patch. I count that as a success.
It's particularly impressive that the cost of running with ASAN is *so* much
lower than valgrind. On my workstation a check-world with
-fsanitize=alignment,undefined,address takes 3min17s, vs 1min10s or so without
-fsanitize. Not something to always use, but certainly better than valgrind.

(*) search_directory() uses fname = xlde->d_name after closedir(). Found in
pg_verifybackup.c's tests. Probably worth adding a few simple tests to
pg_waldump itself.
