Summary:
Add precision to analysis by elaborating the thread-status domain. This is done by having unknown (bottom), UI, BG or Any (both/top) elements in the lattice. This way, when we branch on thread-identity (if I am on UI thread do this, otherwise do that), we know that in one branch we are on UI thread and on the other we are *not* on the UI thread (BG thread), where previously the other branch would just go to top.
With this knowledge we can throw away pairs that come from callees which run on a thread that is impossible, given the current caller thread identity. This can happen when annotations are used incorrectly, and since this is the purview of annot-reachability, we just drop those pairs entirely.

Steal a page from RacerD (and improve interface of) on using certain calls to assert
execution on a particular thread. Reduces FPs and FNs too.

Summary:
Starvation analysis keeps a trace documenting why a method is seen as on the UI thread (many reasons possible, often confusing). This was a call-stack plus string, for keeping the explanation of why the last callee is on the UI thread. This is bad, because it takes too much memory/storage (each string is custom-made to the classes/method involved), and is effectively untyped.
Switch to a proper type for explaining this, so the cost is just a few pointers plus shared procnames/types, and then convert to string only when reporting. This will also allow to push the UI trace inside each element of the starvation domain, so as to allow path sensitivity etc, without blowing up summary size.

Summary: The type hierarchy was traversed multiple times when searching for annotations: once for methods/overrides annotated and once for superclasses. This can be done in one pass.

Summary:
At some point it was thought that we can assume that any annotation starting with "On" means the method is on the UI thread.
That's too imprecise and has led to false positives and negatives. Restrict to a well-known safe set.

Summary: Even though we recognize the lock/unlock methods of various classes in C++, to report we insist that the class must have a `mutex` member. Equalize the two sets of types recognized.

The 2nd iteration of analysis of the Android core implementation did not yield actionable models, so delete those.
Turn on strict-mode reporting by default, when doing starvation analysis (which is disabled by default).

Summary:
The method matcher is now used sufficiently it warrants refactoring out into its own module.
Also, kill dev-android-strict-mode and leave starvation-strict-mode as the stronger option.

Summary:
First step in writing an analyzer that is meant to run only on Android core library implementation.
This will, when finished, compute the library entrypoints that may lead to a strict mode violation.
The normal analyzer will use those to statically flag strict mode violations in app code.
Strict Mode is an Android debug mode, where doing certain things (like disk read/write or network activity) on the UI thread will raise an exception. We want to statically catch these, as well as indirect versions (the UI thread takes a lock and another thread holding that lock calls a method that would be a strict mode violation).
