Add macro to disable address safety instrumentation

fasthash_accum_cstring_aligned() uses a technique, found in various
strlen() implementations, to detect a string's NUL terminator by
reading a word at at time. That triggers failures when testing with
"-fsanitize=address", at least with frontend code. To enable using
this function anywhere, add a function attribute macro to disable
such testing.
