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.

This also includes some infrastructure to make it easier to build multi-argument
selectors, rather than trying to use string matching on each piece. There's a bit
more setup code, but less cost at runtime.

This fixes false positives by allowing us to know that a loop is always entered if
the collection count method returns a positive value and vice versa.

We should only suppress a bug report if the IDCed or null returned nil value is directly related to the value we are warning about. This was
not the case for nil receivers - we would suppress a bug report that had an IDCed nil receiver on the path regardless of how it’s
related to the warning.
1) Thread EnableNullFPSuppression parameter through the visitors to differentiate between tracking the value which
is directly responsible for the bug and other values that visitors are tracking (ex: general tracking of nil receivers).
2) in trackNullOrUndef specifically address the case when a value of the message send is nil due to the receiver being nil.

Register the nil tracking visitors with the region and refactor trackNullOrUndefValue a bit.
Also adds the cast and paren stripping before checking if the value is an OpaqueValueExpr
or ExprWithCleanups.
