Summary:
One "interesting" feature of the approach of merging the captured targets in Java, is that we union their type environments, as opposed to store partial tenvs together with each source file, which is the case for Clang.
This means
- the final global type environment is potentially huge because it contains all the types in all targets.
- all analysis workers start by loading that tenv in memory, meaning we consume `|size of tenv| x #cpus` memory, which can tip the balance towards OOMs
This diff attempts to economise on global tenv size. This is done by increasing sharing which is then preserved by marshalling. It's done in a brute force way, with hashtables for each struct component, and is not fully effective due to the recursion amongst types and types names, as well types appearing inside other constructs such as procnames.
This is done when calling `Tenv.store` so that
- the computation can be parallelised somewhat (capture is parallel, merging is not)
- buck caching will benefit from smaller tenvs.
This saves about 24% of total memory devoted to the type environment.

Summary:
Use `ignore` instead, as this will warn if the argument is an arrow type,
unlike `let _ = ...`. This makes the code more future-proof: if an argument is
added to a function called in `let _ = f x` then the compiler will complain
instead of silently turning a value into a partial evaluation.
Also got rid of particularly irksome `let _ = <stuff returning unit> in` where I could.

Change the API of `Logging` wrt to writing to files and to the console (see
changes in logging.mli).
Write only to one log file: infer-out/log. Prefix each line with the kind of
warning and the PID of the process emitting it. Writing with `O_APPEND` is
atomic so the file should not get garbled by concurrent writes. To get the
output of a single process, find out which one interests you by looking at
infer-out/log, then `grep ^[<PID>] infer-out/log`.
Introduce 3 log levels for debug output and command-line options to set them
for various categories individually.
Change tons of `"\n"` to `"@\n"` so the `Format` module is aware of newlines
without us having to look through every character of every logged string for
`\n` characters.

Try and enforce the following rules:
- stderr is for updating the user about progress or errors
- Introduce Logging.progress that outputs to stderr, but honours --quiet
- Logging.stderr is as before
- Logging.out now prints to stderr (or to log files as before if set up) and
not stdout. If some information should go on stdout then the user should be
able to rely on it (ie, it's not just some progress message). For now only
the summary of the errors is printed on stdout by default.
- Logging.err* functions are gone. If the error is user-visible, it should be
Logging.stderr, or `failwith`. If not, go to the same log file as other
output, which personally I find much more convenient than having to dig through
2 log files every time I'm looking for some output.

Summary:
Merging the results directories of targets on buck projects involved creating symbolic links into buck-out.
The bulk of files are .attr files: one per procedure. Creating these links can be a bottleneck, and the merge phase can be slower than the analysis phases on projects with many procedures.
This diff introduces multilinks to speed up merge.
A multilink is a file `multilink.txt` containing a sequence of paths
```
path/to/file1.ext
path/to/file2.ext
...
```
A multilink file is a compact way to represent a link for each entry.
This diff creates a multilink file for each `attributes/dir` directory, instead of one symbolic link for each file.

maintining backward compatibility with the current command line
interface. Very few values representing command line options are
mutable now, as they are set once during parsing but are constant
thereafter. All ordering dependencies are contained within the
implementation of Config, and the implementation of Config is careful to
avoid unintended interactions and ordering dependencies between options.
