Summary:
- failwith police: no more `failwith`. Instead, use `Logging.die`.
- Introduce the `SimpleLogging` module for dying from modules where `Logging`
cannot be used (usually because that would create a cyclic dependency).
- always log backtraces, and show backtraces on the console except for usage errors
- Also point out in the log file where the toplevel executions of infer happen

Summary:
Instead of a whitelist and blacklist and default issue types and default
blacklist and filtering, consider a simpler semantics where
1. checkers can be individually turned on or off on the command line
2. most checkers are on by default
3. `--no-filtering` turns all issue types on, but they can then be turned off again by further arguments
This provides a more flexible CLI and is similar to other options in the infer
CLI, where "global" behaviour is generally avoided.
Dynamically created checkers (eg, AL linters) cause some complications in the
implementation but I think the semantics is still clear.
Also change the name of the option to mention "issue types" instead of
"checks", since the latter can be confused with "checkers".

Conversion and reformat of infer source using ocamlformat

Current status:
- Because Reason does not handle docstrings, the output of the
conversion is not 'Warning 50'-clean, meaning that there are

Summary:
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.

This makes it clearer that something went wrong. Most `failwith` did not set

Summary:
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:
Passing the context was a bit messy and there was duplicated code. The flow is as follows:
For each node, we analyze that node and then it's children, and in some cases we use the parent node
for specifying a context for its children. Now this should be a bit more clear.
In the case of if, we specify a context based on the condition that is expected to be true inside the
if body, but not inside the else body. Here only the framework is set, more if conditions will be added to the
context in future diffs.

Summary:
Remove the remaining uses of polymorphic equality `=`.
In case of basic types, this is replaced by String.equal or Int.equal.
In case of `= []`, this is replaced by `List.is_empty`.
In case of `= None`, this is replaced by `is_none`.
In case of a datatype definition such as `type a = A | B`,
a `compare_a` function is defined by adding `type a = A | B [@deriving compare]`
and a `equal_a` function is defined as `let equal_a = [%compare.equal : a]`.
In case of comparison with a polymorphic variant `= `Yes`, the equality
defined in `PVariant.(=)` is used. Typically, `open! Pvariant` is added
at the beginning of the file to cover all the uses.

This diff allows to use the linters written in DSL to check for bugs.
Now new checkers can be written directly in the DSL.
The diff also remove some weirdness and simplify the CTL semantics.
For example no need to unwrap a node when evaluating the IN operator.
Also no need to distinguish anymore between stmt and decl in the
semantics of EX and EF.
Moreover, the diff de-couple hard-coded checkers (eg checks on component kit)
from those checkers parsed in the .al files.

For example if we need to display the name of a variable in the error message we will have:
".... %var_name%...."
then %var_name% will be evaluated in the ast node calling the appropriate
helper function and the results will replace %var_name% in the message.

Summary:
This is needed for later: InferClang will no longer be started once for each
source file to be analysed. Instead, it will be called to analyse several files
at once, and will analyse them one by one. Thus, `clang_lang` and `source_file`
are moved to `cFrontend_config` as references.
The biggest change this entailed was the new logging infrastructure, which was
depending on `Config.source_file`. This diff moves the logic entirely to
`Logging`, and changes the API so that executables wishing to log into files
have to set it up using `Logging.set_log_file_identifier`. This can be called
several times during the execution, allowing to dynamically change the log file
(eg, when analysing several source files one by one!).
