Linux build with ASAN in Qt and Krita

1. Go to Jobs section of Krita's CI: https://invent.kde.org/graphics/krita/-/jobs
2. Search for the latest linux-asan-weekly job
3. Enter the job and click on Artifacts->Browse
4. Download the AppImage
5. Set up environment variable for ASAN:

       export ASAN_OPTIONS=new_delete_type_mismatch=0:detect_leaks=0

Windows build with ASAN in Qt and Krita

2. Search for the latest windows-asan-weekly job
3. Enter the job and click on Artifacts->Browse
4. Download the .zip file
5. Open terminal
6. Set up environment variable for ASAN:

7. Change working directory to c:\path\where\you\downloaded\krita-5.3.0-prealpha-git12345\bin. That is important, otherwise ASAN will not be able to locate llvm-symbolizer.exe and the backtraces generated by ASAN will not contain proper symbols.

       cd c:\path\where\you\downloaded\krita-5.3.0-prealpha-git12345\bin
