Summary:
Doing work in constructors is bad: this change suggests to
call SpecialCaseList::create(Path, Error) instead of
"new SpecialCaseList(Path)". Currently the latter may crash with
report_fatal_error, which is undesirable - sometimes we want to report
the error to user gracefully - for example, if he provides an incorrect
file as an argument of Clang's -fsanitize-blacklist flag.

A special case list can now specify categories for specific globals,
which can be used to instruct an instrumentation pass to treat certain
functions or global variables in a specific way, such as by omitting
certain aspects of instrumentation while keeping others, or informing
the instrumentation pass that a specific uninstrumentable function
has certain semantics, thus allowing the pass to instrument callers
according to those semantics.
For example, AddressSanitizer now uses the "init" category instead of
global-init prefixes for globals whose initializers should not be
instrumented, but which in all other respects should be instrumented.
The motivating use case is DataFlowSanitizer, which will have a
number of different categories for uninstrumentable functions, such
as "functional" which specifies that a function has pure functional
semantics, or "discard" which indicates that a function's return
value should not be labelled.
