[analyzer] AST-matching checker to detect global central dispatch performance anti-pattern

rdar://37312818

NB: The checker does not care about the ordering of callbacks, see the
relevant FIXME in tests.

+// This file defines GCDAsyncSemaphoreChecker which checks against a common
+// antipattern when synchronous API is emulated from asynchronous callbacks
+// using a semaphor:
+//
+//   dispatch_semapshore_t sema = dispatch_semaphore_create(0);
+
+//   AnyCFunctionCall(^{
+//     // code…
+//     dispatch_semapshore_signal(sema);
+//   })
+//   dispatch_semapshore_wait(sema, *)
+//
+// Such code is a common performance problem, due to inability of GCD to
+// properly handle QoS when a combination of queues and semaphors is used.
+// Good code would either use asynchronous API (when available), or perform
+// the necessary action in asynchronous callback.
+//
+// Currently, the check is performed using a simple heuristical AST pattern
+// matching.
