Fix: plugin-dev.h: Disable address sanitizer on pointer array section variables
The plugin header declares pointer global variables in plugins meant to
be placed contiguously within their own sections, and then used as an
array of pointers when loading the plugin.
Clang Address Sanitizer adds redzones around each variable, thus leading
to detection of a global buffer overflow.
Those redzones should not be placed within this section, because it
defeats its purpose. Therefore, teach asan not to add redzones
around those variables with an attribute.
Note that there does not appear to be any issue with gcc (tested with
gcc-8 with address sanitization enabled), and gcc ignores the
no_sanitize_address attribute when applied to a global variable.
Fixes: #1231
