LOG: [Clang] Mark new as inaccessiblememonly if sane (#197199)

If `-fassume-sane-operator-new` (the default), assume that `operator
new` does not read or write accessible memory.

Currently, this assumption already exists due to special treatment in
BasicAA. I'd like to remove this special treatment (see
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/197180), and instead rely only
on the `memory` attribute.

It's worth noting that this is consistent with GCC's interpretation of
the flag (where it is also enabled by default):

> [...] With -fassume-sane-operators-new-delete option GCC may assume
that calls to the replaceable global operators from new or delete
expressions or from __builtin_operator_new or __builtin_operator_delete
calls don’t read or modify any global variables or variables whose
address could escape to the operators (global state; except for errno
for the new and new[] operators). [...]
