Review: Needs Fixing

I have an alternative branch linked to the bug:

https://code.launchpad.net/~widelands-dev/widelands/bug-1734843-asan-buildsystem

I think the branch you're proposing here doesn't make it easy to switch ASAN off for debug builds, but it also looks as if my branch is missing some cases.

We need to be able to create Debug builds without ASan for the following reasons:

1. They are still very crashy at the moment, and we might need a debug build to test something that ASan won't let us reach

2. I suspect that LeakSanitizer is producing false positives (c.f. https://bugs.launchpad.net/widelands/+bug/1734304).

3. It will fail Travis

I think I spent an hour with RTFM an experimenting, trying to make my system build/run with ASan and without LSan, but nothing works. As long as we get the leak from Mesa, the test suite will fail even if we manage to fix all our code.
