Update ASAN docs to refer to Clang 18's release

Clang 18 has the bugfix we need, so we no longer need to tell people to
compile Clang from source.

 The compiled Ruby will now automatically crash with a report and a backtrace if ASAN detects a memory safety issue. To run Ruby's test suite under ASAN, issue the following command. Note that this will take quite a long time (over two hours on my laptop); the `RUBY_TEST_TIMEOUT_SCALE` and `SYNTAX_SUGEST_TIMEOUT` variables are required to make sure tests don't spuriously fail with timeouts when in fact they're just slow.
@@ -198,7 +198,7 @@ Please note, however, the following caveats!
 
 * ASAN will not work properly on any currently released version of Ruby; the necessary support is currently only present on Ruby's master branch (and the whole test suite passes only as of commit [9d0a5148ae062a0481a4a18fbeb9cfd01dc10428](https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/projects/ruby-master/repository/git/revisions/9d0a5148ae062a0481a4a18fbeb9cfd01dc10428))
 * Due to [this bug](https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20243), Clang generates code for threadlocal variables which doesn't work with M:N threading. Thus, it's necessary to disable M:N threading support at build time for now (with the `-DUSE_MN_THREADS=0` configure argument).
-* Currently, ASAN will only work correctly when using a recent head build of LLVM/Clang - it requires [this bugfix](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/75290) related to multithreaded `fork`, which is not yet in any released version. See [here](https://llvm.org/docs/CMake.html) for instructions on how to build LLVM/Clang from source (note you will need at least the `clang` and `compiler-rt` projects enabled). Then, you will need to replace `CC=clang` in the instructions with an explicit path to your built Clang binary.
+* ASAN will only work when using Clang version 18 or later - it requires [this bugfix](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/75290) related to multithreaded `fork`.
 * ASAN has only been tested so far with Clang on Linux. It may or may not work with other compilers or on other platforms - please file an issue on [https://bugs.ruby-lang.org](https://bugs.ruby-lang.org) if you run into problems with such configurations (or, to report that they actually work properly!)
 * In particular, although I have not yet tried it, I have reason to believe ASAN will _not_ work properly on macOS yet - the fix for the multithreaded fork issue was actually reverted for macOS (see [here](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/2a03854e4ce9bb1bcd79a211063bc63c4657f92c)). Please open an issue on [https://bugs.ruby-lang.org](https://bugs.ruby-lang.org) if this is a problem for you.
