[asan] Export new and delete operators on Windows

This is necessary to support the dynamic CRT (/MD) with VS2015. In
VS2015, these symbols are no longer imported from a DLL, they provided
statically by msvcrt.lib. This means our approach of hotpatching the DLL
no longer works.

By exporting the symbols, we end up relying on the same mechanism that
we use to intercept symbols in the static CRT (/MT) case. The ASan
runtime always needs to appear first on the link line, and the linker
searches for symbol definitions from left to right. This means we can
stop hotpatching operator new and delete in the CRT, which is nice.

I think that the only reason we weren't exporting the symbols already is
because MSVC doesn't allow you to do it directly with
__declspec(dllexport). Instead, we can use
`#pragma comment(linker, "/export:foo")`, which is most of what the
attribute does under the hood. It does mean we have to write down the
mangled names of the operators, but that's not too bad.
