[AddressSanitizer] Fix for wrong argument values appearing in backtraces

Summary:
In some cases, ASan may insert instrumentation before function arguments
have been stored into their allocas. This causes two issues:

1) The argument value must be spilled until it can be stored into the
   reserved alloca, wasting a stack slot.

2) Until the store occurs in a later basic block, the debug location
   will point to the wrong frame offset, and backtraces will show an
   uninitialized value.

The proposed solution is to move instructions which initialize allocas
for arguments up into the entry block, before the position where ASan
starts inserting its instrumentation.

For the motivating test case, before the patch we see:

```
 | 0033: movq %rdi, 0x68(%rbx)  |   | DW_TAG_formal_parameter     |
 | ...                          |   |   DW_AT_name ("a")          |
 | 00d1: movq 0x68(%rbx), %rsi  |   |   DW_AT_location (RBX+0x90) |
 | 00d5: movq %rsi, 0x90(%rbx)  |   |       ^ not correct ...     |
```

and after the patch we see:

```
 | 002f: movq %rdi, 0x70(%rbx)  |   | DW_TAG_formal_parameter     |
 |                              |   |   DW_AT_name ("a")          |
 |                              |   |   DW_AT_location (RBX+0x70) |
```
