Add --enable-ubsan
This adds --enable-ubsan to gdb's configure. By default it is enabled in development mode, and disabled otherwise. This passes both -fsanitize=undefined and -fno-sanitize-recover=undefined to compilations, so that undefined behavior violations will be sure to cause test failures. gdb/ChangeLog 2018-10-03 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * README: Mention --enable-ubsan. * NEWS: Mention --enable-ubsan. * acinclude.m4: Include sanitize.m4. * configure: Rebuild. * configure.ac: Call AM_GDB_UBSAN. * sanitize.m4: New file. gdb/doc/ChangeLog 2018-10-03 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * gdb.texinfo (Configure Options): Document --enable-ubsan.

`configure' accepts other options, for compatibility with configuring
other GNU tools recursively.
