This commit introduces basic annotations for `std::basic_string`,
mirroring the approach used in `std::vector` and `std::deque`.
Initially, only long strings with the default allocator will be
annotated. Short strings (_SSO - short string optimization_) and strings
with non-default allocators will be annotated in the near future, with
separate commits dedicated to enabling them. The process will be similar
to the workflow employed for enabling annotations in `std::deque`.
**Please note**: these annotations function effectively only when libc++
and libc++abi dylibs are instrumented (with ASan). This aligns with the
prevailing behavior of Memory Sanitizer.
To avoid breaking everything, this commit also appends
`_LIBCPP_INSTRUMENTED_WITH_ASAN` to `__config_site` whenever libc++ is
compiled with ASan. If this macro is not defined, string annotations are
not enabled. However, linking a binary that does **not** annotate
strings with a dynamic library that annotates strings, is not permitted.

This PR is a part of a series of patches extending AddressSanitizer C++
container overflow detection capabilities by adding annotations, similar
to those existing in `std::vector` and `std::deque` collections. These
enhancements empower ASan to effectively detect instances where the
instrumented program attempts to access memory within a collection's
internal allocation that remains unused. This includes cases where
access occurs before or after the stored elements in `std::deque`, or
between the `std::basic_string`'s size (including the null terminator)
and capacity bounds.
The introduction of these annotations was spurred by a real-world
software bug discovered by Trail of Bits, involving an out-of-bounds
memory access during the comparison of two strings using the
`std::equals` function. This function was taking iterators
(`iter1_begin`, `iter1_end`, `iter2_begin`) to perform the comparison,
using a custom comparison function. When the `iter1` object exceeded the
length of `iter2`, an out-of-bounds read could occur on the `iter2`
object. Container sanitization, upon enabling these annotations, would
effectively identify and flag this potential vulnerability.
This Pull Request introduces basic annotations for `std::basic_string`.
Long strings exhibit structural similarities to `std::vector` and will
be annotated accordingly. Short strings are already implemented, but
will be turned on separately in a forthcoming commit. Look at [a
comment](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/72677#issuecomment-1850554465)
below to read about SSO issues at current moment.
Due to the functionality introduced in
[D132522](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/dd1b7b797a116eed588fd752fbe61d34deeb24e4),
the `__sanitizer_annotate_contiguous_container` function now offers
compatibility with all allocators. However, enabling this support will
be done in a subsequent commit. For the time being, only strings with
the default allocator will be annotated.

This doesn't affect our ABI because `std::string::substr()` isn't in the dylib and the mangling of `substr() const` and `substr() const&` are different.
