They cooperate in that NSErrorChecker listens for ImplicitNullDerefEvent events that
DereferenceChecker can dispatch.
ImplicitNullDerefEvent is when we dereferenced a location that may be null.

A checker can register as receiver/listener of "events" (basically it registers a callback
with a function getting called with an argument of the event type) and other checkers can
register as "dispatchers" and can pass an event object to all the listeners.
This allows cooperation amongst checkers but with very loose coupling.

The relative checker package is 'debug':
'-dump-live-variables' is replaced by '-analyzer-checker=debug.DumpLiveVars'
'-cfg-view' is replaced by '-analyzer-checker=debug.ViewCFG'
'-cfg-dump' is replaced by '-analyzer-checker=debug.DumpCFG'

-Introduce CheckerV2, a set of templates for convenient declaration & registration of checkers.
Currently useful just for checkers working on the AST not the path-sensitive ones.
-Enhance CheckerManager to actually collect the checkers and turn it into the entry point for
running the checkers.
-Use the new mechanism for the LLVMConventionsChecker.

StackAddrLeakChecker
ObjCAtSyncChecker
UnixAPIChecker
MacOSXAPIChecker
The rest have/create implicit dependencies between checkers and need to be handled differently.

-Checkers will be defined in the tablegen file 'Checkers.td'.
-Apart from checkers, we can define checker "packages" that will contain a collection of checkers.
-Checkers can be enabled with -analyzer-checker=<name> and disabled with -analyzer-disable-checker=<name> e.g:
Enable checkers from 'cocoa' and 'corefoundation' packages except the self-initialization checker:
-analyzer-checker=cocoa -analyzer-checker=corefoundation -analyzer-disable-checker=cocoa.SelfInit
-Introduces CheckerManager and CheckerProvider. CheckerProviders get the set of checker names to enable/disable and
register them with the CheckerManager which will be the entry point for all checker-related functionality.
Currently only the self-initialization checker takes advantage of the new mechanism.
