Added option for static linking gcc sanitizers.

If you like to preload a sanitized library in front of an application, it will
fail, because it is not the first in the library list anymore. This behaviour
is gcc specific - clang will static link the sanitizers instead. To get the
same for gcc, the new SANITIZE_LINK_STATIC flag will link the sanitizers
static in gcc environments.

Note: The preloaded executable must be sanitized, too! Otherwise ASan will
      print an error message!
