This patch adds hashes to the plist and html output to be able to identfy bugs
for suppressing false positives or diff results against a baseline. This hash
aims to be resilient for code evolution and is usable to identify bugs in two
different snapshots of the same software. One missing piece however is a
permanent unique identifier of the checker that produces the warning. Once that
issue is resolved, the hashes generated are going to change. Until that point
this feature is marked experimental, but it is suitable for early adoption.

same as the name of the checker in the future.

...but don't yet migrate over the existing plist tests. Some of these
would be trivial to migrate; others could use a bit of inspection first.
In any case, though, the new edge algorithm seems to have proven itself,
and we'd like more coverage (and more usage) of it going forwards.

The 2 functions were computing the same location using different logic (each one had edge case bugs that the other
one did not). Refactor them to rely on the same logic.
The location of the warning reported in text/command line output format will now match that of the plist file.
There is one change in the plist output as well. When reporting an error on a BinaryOperator, we use the location of the
operator instead of the beginning of the BinaryOperator expression. This matches our output on command line and
looks better in most cases.

Before:
1. Calling 'foo'
2. Doing something interesting
3. Returning from 'foo'
4. Some kind of error here
After:
1. Calling 'foo'
2. Doing something interesting
3. Returning from 'foo'
4. Some kind of error here
The location of the note is already in the caller, not the callee, so this
just brings the "depth" attribute in line with that.
This only affects plist diagnostic consumers (i.e. Xcode). It's necessary
for Xcode to associate the control flow arrows with the right stack frame.

In this code
int getZero() {
return 0;
}
void test() {
int problem = 1 / getZero(); // expected-warning {{Division by zero}}
}
we generate these arrows:
+-----------------+
| v
int problem = 1 / getZero();
^ |
+---+
where the top one represents the control flow up to the first call, and the
bottom one represents the flow to the division.* It turns out, however, that
we were generating the top arrow twice, as if attempting to "set up context"
after we had already returned from the call. This resulted in poor
highlighting in Xcode.
* Arguably the best location for the division is the '/', but that's a
different problem.

Most map types have an operator[] that inserts a new element if the key
isn't found, then returns a reference to the value slot so that you can
assign into it. However, if the value type is a pointer, it will be
initialized to null. This is usually no problem.
However, if the user /knows/ the map contains a value for a particular key,
they may just use it immediately:
// From ClangSACheckersEmitter.cpp
recordGroupMap[group]->Checkers
In this case the analyzer reports a null dereference on the path where the
key is not in the map, even though the user knows that path is impossible
here. They could silence the warning by adding an assertion, but that means
splitting up the expression and introducing a local variable. (Note that
the analyzer has no way of knowing that recordGroupMap[group] will return
the same reference if called twice in a row!)
We already have logic that says a null dereference has a high chance of
being a false positive if the null came from an inlined function. This
patch simply extends that to references whose rvalues are null as well,
silencing several false positives in LLVM.

Fixes PR15358 and <rdar://problem/13295437>.
Along the way, shorten path diagnostics that say "Variable 'x'" to just
be "'x'". By the context, it is obvious that we have a variable,
and so this just consumes text space.

path notes for cases where a value may be assumed to be null, etc.
Instead of having redundant diagnostics, do a pass over the generated
PathDiagnostic pieces and remove notes from TrackConstraintBRVisitor
that are already covered by ConditionBRVisitor, whose notes tend
to be better.

This is a heuristic intended to greatly reduce the number of false
positives resulting from inlining, particularly inlining of generic,
defensive C++ methods that live in header files. The suppression is
triggered in the cases where we ask to track where a null pointer came
from, and it turns out that the source of the null pointer was an inlined
function call.
This change brings the number of bug reports in LLVM from ~1500 down to
around ~300, a much more manageable number. Yes, some true positives may
be hidden as well, but from what I looked at the vast majority of silenced
reports are false positives, and many of the true issues found by the
analyzer are still reported.
I'm hoping to improve this heuristic further by adding some exceptions
next week (cases in which a bug should still be reported).

Rather than saying "Null pointer value stored to 'foo'", we now say
"Passing null pointer value via Nth parameter 'foo'", which is much better.
The note is also now on the argument expression as well, rather than the
entire call.
This paves the way for continuing to track arguments back to their sources.

The actual change here is a little more complicated than the summary above.
What we want to do is have our generic inlining tests run under whatever
mode is the default. However, there are some tests that depend on the
presence of C++ inlining, which still has some rough edges. These tests have
been explicitly marked as -analyzer-ipa=inlining in preparation for a new
mode that limits inlining to C functions and blocks. This will be the
default until the false positives for C++ have been brought down to
manageable levels.

CmpRuns.py can be used to compare issues from different analyzer runs.
Since it uses the issue line number to unique 2 issues, adding a new
line to the beginning of a file makes all issues in the file reported as
new.
The hash will be an opaque value which could be used (along with the
function name) by CmpRuns to identify the same issues. This way, we only
fail to identify the same issue from two runs if the function it appears
in changes (not perfect, but much better than nothing).

values through interesting expressions. This allows us to map from interesting values in a caller
to interesting values in a caller, thus recovering some precision in diagnostics lost from IPA.

we use the same Expr* as the one being currently visited. This is preparation for transitioning to having
ProgramPoints refer to CFGStmts.
This required a bit of trickery. We wish to keep the old Expr* bindings in the Environment intact,
as plenty of logic relies on it and there is no reason to change it, but we sometimes want the Stmt* for
the ProgramPoint to be different than the Expr* being used for bindings. This requires adding an extra
argument for some functions (e.g., evalLocation). This looks a bit strange for some clients, but
it will look a lot cleaner when were start using CFGStmt* in the appropriate places.
As some fallout, the diagnostics arrows are a bit difference, since some of the node locations have changed.
I have audited these, and they look reasonable.
