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.
