AddressSanitizer [1] a.k.a. ASan is a widely-used debugging tool to
detect memory access errors.
It helps to detect issues like use-after-free, various kinds of buffer
overruns in C/C++ programs, and other similar errors, as well as
printing out detailed debug information whenever an error is detected.
ASan is integrated with gcc and clang and can be enabled via a meson
option: -Db_sanitize=address
See the documentation for details (especially regarding clang).
Enabling ASan has an impact on performance since additional checks are
added to generated binaries.
Enabling ASan with Windows is currently not supported in DPDK.

Moved title syntax to a separate file so that it improves code
readability and allows easy addition.
Also logic changed from checking for bad pattern to checking good
pattern which documents the expected syntax more clearly, and does not
have gaps in the checks.
