[build-script] When building with asan, mangle asan into the build subdirectory name.
Today, when you enable ASAN, build-script just reconfigures your normal build
directory to use ASAN. This forces you to recompile LLVM and Swift with ASAN
enabled and then (once you have finished using ASAN) to recompile LLVm/Swift
without ASAN.
By using a different build-directory, one still has to (potentially) recompile
LLVM/Swift, but one's original directory has not become invalidated. Thus when
you switch back to a normal build, one does not have to recompile LLVM and
(potentially) Swift!
