[scudo] Use gc-sections by default

Kostya Kortchinsky · Kostya Kortchinsky · commit 7dc513758112 · 2018-03-06T20:13:37.000Z
Summary: If not using `-Wl,--gc-sections`, a whole lot of unused `sanitizer_common` code and related static variables are pulled into the shared library. Keep the binary size smaller, and its memory footprint smaller as well, by using the compiler flags `-ffunction-section` & `-fdata-sections` by default, as well as the linker flags `-Wl,--gc-sections`. Current experiments show a large discrepency between binary sizes generated by gcc (big) and clang (small). I am not sure yet how I can make a test that would encompass both, so it's an outstanding work item.
