The -fsanitize=alignment implementation follows the model that we allow
forming unaligned pointers but disallow accessing unaligned pointers.
See [RFC: Enforcing pointer type alignment in Clang](https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2016-January/094012.html)
for detail.
memcpy is a memory access and we require an `int *` argument to be aligned.
Similar to https://reviews.llvm.org/D9673 , emit -fsanitize=alignment check for
arguments of builtin memcpy and memmove functions to catch misaligned load like:
```
// Check the alignment of a but ignore the alignment of b
void unaligned_load(int *a, void *b) { memcpy(a, b, sizeof(*a)); }
```
For a reference parameter, we emit a -fsanitize=alignment check as well, which
can be optimized out by InstCombinePass. We rely on the call site
`TCK_ReferenceBinding` check instead.
```
// The alignment check of a will be optimized out.
void unaligned_load(int &a, void *b) { memcpy(&a, b, sizeof(a)); }
```
The diagnostic message looks like
```
runtime error: store to misaligned address [[PTR:0x[0-9a-f]*]] for type 'int *'
```
We could use a better message for memcpy, but we don't do it for now as it would
require a new check name like misaligned-pointer-use, which is probably not
necessary. *RFC: Enforcing pointer type alignment in Clang* is not well documented,
but this patch does not intend to change the that.
Technically builtin memset functions can be checked for -fsanitize=alignment as
well, but it does not seem too useful.
