[issue24061] Python 2.x breaks with address sanitizer

[Hanno Boeck]

New submission from Hanno Boeck:

Right now it is not possible to build python 2.7.9 with address sanitizer. This issue has been worked around for python 3 in bug #18596 by marking some functions with attributes to tell address sanitizer to ignore them.

I have attached a patch that will apply the same workaround to python 2.7. I'd apprechiate if this could be applied before the next python 2 release. Although it's the "old" python 2 version I think this is important enough to be backported.
