Pull request description:

  Add MemorySanitizer (MSan) in Travis to detect use of uninitialized memory.

  First UBSan, then ASan followed by TSan... and now: yes, the wait is over -- **MSan is finally here!** :)

  Some historical context:
  * 2017: Continuous compilation with Clang Thread Safety analysis enabled (#10866, #10923)
  * 2018: Continuous testing with trapping on signed integer overflows (`-ftrapv`) (#12686)
  * 2018: Continuous testing of use of locale dependent functions (#13041)
  * 2018: Continuous testing of format strings (#13705)
  * 2018: Continuous compilation with MSVC `TreatWarningAsError` (#14151)
  * 2018: Continuous testing under UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer – UBSan (#14252, #14673, #17006)
  * 2018: Continuous testing under AddressSanitizer – ASan (#14794, #17205, #17674)
  * 2018: Continuous testing under ThreadSanitizer – TSan (#14829)
  * 2019: Continuous testing in an unsigned char environment (`-funsigned-char`) (#15134)
  * 2019: Continuous compile-time testing of assumptions we're making (#15391)
  * 2019: Continuous testing of fuzz test cases under Valgrind (#17633, #18159, #18166)
  * 2020: Finally... MemorySanitizer – MSAN! :)

  What is the next step? What tools should we add to CI to keep bugs from entering `master`? :)
