[analyzer][CallAndMessage] Add checker options for each bug type

iAs listed in the summary D77846, we have 5 different categories of bugs we're
checking for in CallAndMessage. I think the documentation placed in the code
explains my thought process behind my decisions quite well.

A non-obvious change I had here is removing the entry for
CallAndMessageUnInitRefArg. In fact, I removed the CheckerNameRef typed field
back in D77845 (it was dead code), so that checker didn't really exist in any
meaningful way anyways.

[analyzer][CallAndMessage][NFC] Split up checkPreCall

The patch aims to use CallEvents interface in a more principled manner, and also
to highlight what this checker really does. It in fact checks for 5 different
kinds of errors (from checkPreCall, that is):

* Invalid function pointer related errors
* Call of methods from an invalid C++ this object
* Function calls with incorrect amount of parameters
* Invalid arguments for operator delete
* Pass of uninitialized values to pass-by-value parameters

In a previous patch I complained that this checker is responsible for emitting
a lot of different diagnostics all under core.CallAndMessage's name, and this
patch shows where we could start to assign different diagnostics to different
entities.

analyzer][CallAndMessage][NFC] Change old callbacks to rely on CallEvent

The following series of patches has something similar in mind with D77474, with
the same goal to finally end incorrect checker names for good. Despite
CallAndMessage not suffering from this particular issue, it is a dependency for
many other checkers, which is problematic, because we don't really want
dependencies to also emit diagnostics (reasoning for this is also more detailed
in D77474).

CallAndMessage also has another problem, namely that it is responsible for a lot
of reports. You'll soon learn that this isn't really easy to solve for
compatibility reasons, but that is the topic of followup patches.

[analyzer] Reimplement dependencies between checkers

Unfortunately, up until now, the fact that certain checkers depended on one
another was known, but how these actually unfolded was hidden deep within the
implementation. For example, many checkers (like RetainCount, Malloc or CString)
modelled a certain functionality, and exposed certain reportable bug types to
the user. For example, while MallocChecker models many many different types of
memory handling, the actual "unix.MallocChecker" checker the user was exposed to
was merely and option to this modeling part.

Other than this being an ugly mess, this issue made resolving the checker naming
issue almost impossible. (The checker naming issue being that if a checker
registered more than one checker within its registry function, both checker
object recieved the same name) Also, if the user explicitly disabled a checker
that was a dependency of another that _was_ explicitly enabled, it implicitly,
without "telling" the user, reenabled it.

Clearly, changing this to a well structured, declarative form, where the
handling of dependencies are done on a higher level is very much preferred.

This patch, among the detailed things later, makes checkers declare their
dependencies within the TableGen file Checkers.td, and exposes the same
functionality to plugins and statically linked non-generated checkers through
CheckerRegistry::addDependency. CheckerRegistry now resolves these dependencies,
makes sure that checkers are added to CheckerManager in the correct order,
and makes sure that if a dependency is disabled, so will be every checker that
depends on it.

In detail:

* Add a new field to the Checker class in CheckerBase.td called Dependencies,
which is a list of Checkers.
* Move unix checkers before cplusplus, as there is no forward declaration in
tblgen :/
* Add the following new checkers:
- StackAddrEscapeBase
- StackAddrEscapeBase
- CStringModeling
- DynamicMemoryModeling (base of the MallocChecker family)
- IteratorModeling (base of the IteratorChecker family)
- ValistBase
- SecuritySyntaxChecker (base of bcmp, bcopy, etc...)
- NSOrCFErrorDerefChecker (base of NSErrorChecker and CFErrorChecker)
- IvarInvalidationModeling (base of IvarInvalidation checker family)
- RetainCountBase (base of RetainCount and OSObjectRetainCount)
* Clear up and registry functions in MallocChecker, happily remove old FIXMEs.
* Add a new addDependency function to CheckerRegistry.
* Neatly format RUN lines in files I looked at while debugging.

Big thanks to Artem Degrachev for all the guidance through this project!

[analyzer] Supply all checkers with a shouldRegister function

Introduce the boolean ento::shouldRegister##CHECKERNAME(const LangOptions &LO)
function very similarly to ento::register##CHECKERNAME. This will force every
checker to implement this function, but maybe it isn't that bad: I saw a lot of
ObjC or C++ specific checkers that should probably not register themselves based
on some LangOptions (mine too), but they do anyways.

A big benefit of this is that all registry functions now register their checker,
once it is called, registration is guaranteed.

Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM

[analyzer][NFC] Move CheckerRegistry from the Core directory to Frontend

ClangCheckerRegistry is a very non-obvious, poorly documented, weird concept.
It derives from CheckerRegistry, and is placed in lib/StaticAnalyzer/Frontend,
whereas it's base is located in lib/StaticAnalyzer/Core. It was, from what I can
imagine, used to circumvent the problem that the registry functions of the
checkers are located in the clangStaticAnalyzerCheckers library, but that
library depends on clangStaticAnalyzerCore. However, clangStaticAnalyzerFrontend
depends on both of those libraries.

One can make the observation however, that CheckerRegistry has no place in Core,
it isn't used there at all! The only place where it is used is Frontend, which
is where it ultimately belongs.

This move implies that since
include/clang/StaticAnalyzer/Checkers/ClangCheckers.h only contained a single function:

class CheckerRegistry;

void registerBuiltinCheckers(CheckerRegistry &registry);

it had to re purposed, as CheckerRegistry is no longer available to
clangStaticAnalyzerCheckers. It was renamed to BuiltinCheckerRegistration.h,
which actually describes it a lot better -- it does not contain the registration
functions for checkers, but only those generated by the tblgen files.

[analyzer] In getSVal() API, disable auto-detection of void type as char type.

This is a follow-up from r314910. When a checker developer attempts to
dereference a location in memory through ProgramState::getSVal(Loc) or
ProgramState::getSVal(const MemRegion *), without specifying the second
optional QualType parameter for the type of the value he tries to find at this
location, the type is auto-detected from location type. If the location
represents a value beyond a void pointer, we thought that auto-detecting the
type as 'char' is a good idea. However, in most practical cases, the correct
behavior would be to specify the type explicitly, as it is available from other
sources, and the few cases where we actually need to take a 'char' are
workarounds rather than an intended behavior. Therefore, try to fail with an
easy-to-understand assertion when asked to read from a void pointer location.

[analyzer] Add generateErrorNode() APIs to CheckerContext.

The analyzer trims unnecessary nodes from the exploded graph before reporting
path diagnostics. However, in some cases it can trim all nodes (including the
error node), leading to an assertion failure (see
https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=24184).

This commit addresses the issue by adding two new APIs to CheckerContext to
explicitly create error nodes. Unless the client provides a custom tag, these
APIs tag the node with the checker's tag -- preventing it from being trimmed.
The generateErrorNode() method creates a sink error node, while
generateNonFatalErrorNode() creates an error node for a path that should
continue being explored.

The intent is that one of these two methods should be used whenever a checker
creates an error node.

This commit updates the checkers to use these APIs. These APIs
(unlike addTransition() and generateSink()) do not take an explicit Pred node.
This is because there are not any error nodes in the checkers that were created
with an explicit different than the default (the CheckerContext's Pred node).

It also changes generateSink() to require state and pred nodes (previously
these were optional) to reduce confusion.

Additionally, there were several cases where checkers did check whether a
generated node could be null; we now explicitly check for null in these places.

This commit also includes a test case written by Ying Yi as part of
http://reviews.llvm.org/D12163 (that patch originally addressed this issue but
was reverted because it introduced false positive regressions).

[analyzer] Skip Pre/Post handlers for ObjC calls when receiver is nil.

In Objective-C, method calls with nil receivers are essentially no-ops. They
do not fault (although the returned value may be garbage depending on the
declared return type and architecture). Programmers are aware of this
behavior and will complain about a false alarm when the analyzer
diagnoses API violations for method calls when the receiver is known to
be nil.

Rather than require each individual checker to be aware of this behavior
and suppress a warning when the receiver is nil, this commit
changes ExprEngineObjC so that VisitObjCMessage skips calling checker
pre/post handlers when the receiver is definitely nil. Instead, it adds a
new event, ObjCMessageNil, that is only called in that case.

The CallAndMessageChecker explicitly cares about this case, so I've changed it
to add a callback for ObjCMessageNil and moved the logic in PreObjCMessage
that handles nil receivers to the new callback.
