meta: tracker for overriding storage allocator bugs

[cyberthirst]

We have multiple outstanding overriding storage allocator bugs; for better tracking, I'm creating this meta issue.

• 1. Overriding Storage Allocator Does Not Handle Stateful Modules #3989
• 2. overriding allocator does not set global lock position causing crash in codegen #3996
• 3. bug: overriding storage layout fails with immutables #3517
• 4. bug: no sanity check on storage layout files #3516
• 5. Process gets killed when using storage layout override #3966

ps. i view this issue as short-lived and thus didn't create a label. Should it be done in the future?
EDIT:

• added 5)

Also, given the number of bugs & minimal client usage, should we hide this feature behind some experimental flag or even deprecate it?

no -- it's already a bit hard to use, and most of the recent bugs are due to purposely not supporting overrides with modules yet, and we will either fix or improve the warnings before release
