C89 had a questionable feature where the compiler would implicitly
declare a function that the user called but was never previously
declared. The resulting function would be globally declared as
extern int func(); -- a function without a prototype which accepts zero
or more arguments.
C99 removed support for this questionable feature due to severe
security concerns. However, there was no deprecation period; C89 had
the feature, C99 didn't. So Clang (and GCC) both supported the
functionality as an extension in C99 and later modes.
C2x no longer supports that function signature as it now requires all
functions to have a prototype, and given the known security issues with
the feature, continuing to support it as an extension is not tenable.
This patch changes the diagnostic behavior for the
-Wimplicit-function-declaration warning group depending on the language
mode in effect. We continue to warn by default in C89 mode (due to the
feature being dangerous to use). However, because this feature will not
be supported in C2x mode, we've diagnosed it as being invalid for so
long, the security concerns with the feature, and the trivial
workaround for users (declare the function), we now default the
extension warning to an error in C99-C17 mode. This still gives users
an easy workaround if they are extensively using the extension in those
modes (they can disable the warning or use -Wno-error to downgrade the
error), but the new diagnostic makes it more clear that this feature is
not supported and should be avoided. In C2x mode, we no longer allow an
implicit function to be defined and treat the situation the same as any
other lookup failure.

This patch adds -Wno-strict-prototypes to all of the test cases that
use functions without prototypes, but not as the primary concern of the
test. e.g., attributes testing whether they can/cannot be applied to a
function without a prototype, etc.
This is done in preparation for enabling -Wstrict-prototypes by
default.
without prototypes. This patch converts the function signatures to have
a prototype for the situations where the test is not specific to K&R C
declarations. e.g.,
void func();
becomes
void func(void);
This is the ninth batch of tests being updated (there are a
significant number of other tests left to be updated).
Report undefined pointer dereference in similar way as null pointer dereference.

There are some functions which can't be given a null pointer as parameter either
because it has a nonnull attribute or it is declared to have undefined behavior
(e.g. strcmp()). Sometimes it is hard to determine from the checker message
which parameter is null at the invocation, so now this information is included
in the message.

This checker has not been updated to work with interprocedural analysis,
and actually contains both logical correctness issues but also
memory bugs. We can resuscitate it from version control once there
is focused interest in making it a real viable checker again.

This implementation doesn't warn on anything that GCC doesn't warn on with the
exception of templates specializations (GCC doesn't warn, Clang does). The
specific skipped cases (boolean, constant expressions, enums) are open for
debate/adjustment if anyone wants to demonstrate that GCC is being overly
conservative here. The only really obvious false positive I found was in the
Clang regression suite's MPI test - apparently MPI uses specific flag values in
pointer constants. (eg: #define FOO (void*)~0)

This fixes several issues:
- removes egregious hack where PlistDiagnosticConsumer would forward to HTMLDiagnosticConsumer,
but diagnostics wouldn't be generated consistently in the same way if PlistDiagnosticConsumer
was used by itself.
- emitting diagnostics to the terminal (using clang's diagnostic machinery) is no longer a special
case, just another PathDiagnosticConsumer. This also magically resolved some duplicate warnings,
as we now use PathDiagnosticConsumer's diagnostic pruning, which has scope for the entire translation
unit, not just the scope of a BugReporter (which is limited to a particular ExprEngine).
As an interesting side-effect, diagnostics emitted to the terminal also have their trailing "." stripped,
just like with diagnostics emitted to plists and HTML. This required some tests to be updated, but now
the tests have higher fidelity with what users will see.
There are some inefficiencies in this patch. We currently generate the report graph (from the ExplodedGraph)
once per PathDiagnosticConsumer, which is a bit wasteful, but that could be pulled up higher in the
logic stack. There is some intended duplication, however, as we now generate different PathDiagnostics (for the same issue)
for different PathDiagnosticConsumers. This is necessary to produce the diagnostics that a particular
consumer expects.

The warning this inhibits, -Wobjc-root-class, is opt-in for now. However, all clang unit tests that would trigger
the warning have been updated to use -Wno-objc-root-class. <rdar://problem/7446698>
