ci: use clang for ASan/UBSan checks

Both gcc and clang support the "address" and "undefined" sanitizers.
However, they may produce different results. We've seen at least two
real world cases where gcc missed a UBSan problem but clang found it:

  1. Clang's UBSan (using clang 14.0.6) found a string index that was
     subtracted to "-1", causing an out-of-bounds read (curiously this
     didn't trigger ASan, but that may be because the string was in the
     argv memory, not stack or heap). Using gcc (version 12.2.0) didn't
     find the same problem.

  2. Clang's UBSan (using clang 4.0.1) complained about pointer
     arithmetic with NULL, but gcc at the time did not. This was in
     2017, and modern gcc does seem to find the issue, though.

Since we don't otherwise have a particular preference for one compiler
over the other for this test, let's switch to the one that we think may
be more thorough.

Note that it's entirely possible that the two are simply _different_,
and we are trading off problems that gcc would find that clang wouldn't.
However, my subjective and anecdotal experience has been that clang's
sanitizer support is a bit more mature (e.g., I recall other oddities
around leak-checking where clang performed more sensibly).

Obviously running both and cross-checking the results would give us the
best coverage, but that's very expensive to run (and these are already
some of our most expensive CI jobs). So let's use clang as our best
guess, and we can re-evaluate if we get more data points.
