     - converted all passed to use the new llvm pass manager for llvm 11+

   - Setting `AFL_DISABLE_TRIM` tells afl-fuzz not to trim test cases. This is
     usually a bad idea!

 2. Additionally randomize the AFL++ compilation options, e.g.:

 4. Do *not* run any `-M` modes, just running `-S` modes is better for CI
    fuzzing. `-M` enables old queue handling etc. which is good for a fuzzing
