Summary: This adds a check for when developers use weakSelf (and maybe strongSelf) in a block, when there is no need for it, because it won't cause a retain cycle. In general there is an annotation in Objective-C for methods that take blocks, NS_NOESCAPE, that means that the passed block won't leave the scope, i.e. is "no escaping". So we report when weakSelf is used and the block has the annotation.

Summary:
Adding a new check as part of the SelfInBlock checker, for cases when a strong pointer to self, that is not self, is captured in the block.
This will cover the following wrong scenarios:
1. strongSelf is a local variable in a block as it should be, and then it's used in a sub-block, in which case it's a captured variable.
2. weakSelf is defined without the weak attribute by mistake.

This diff makes it impossible to select the previous integration.
Upcoming diffs will clean up the resulting dead code.
This also make infer fail hard when no buck mode is specified in a buck

we need to choose between 3 incompatible integrations and making any of
them the default will confuse at least one person in the future.

Summary:
This changes how we select amongst our (currently) 4 Buck integrations
for Java and clang, as well as how the user's choice is reflected by the
Config module.
The old command line interface is still supported but is now deprecated.
The changes in how to select each integration are:
- clang via "flavors", activated with `--flavors`, now with `--buck-clang`
- clang via "compilation DB", activated with `--buck-compilation-database`, unchanged
- Java via "genrule", activated with `--genrule-master-mode`, now with `--buck-java`
- Java "without genrules", used to be activated by *not specifying any other Buck mode*, unchanged
Instead of various `Config` flags corresponding to the previous CLI that
are allowed in any combination of `flavors`,
`buck_compilation_database`, `genrule_master_mode`, `Config` now exposes
a single `buck_mode` datatype. This allows, eg, `flavors` to override
`buck_compilation_database` if needed. It will also make it easier to
get rid of the old "Java without genrules" integration in a later diff
(see inline comments).

The variable strongSelf, because it is equal to a weak captured pointer, needs to be checked for null before being used, otherwise it could be null by the time the block is executed.
Added this check to the SelfInBlock checker, and removed it from biabduction.
We want to migrate all the objc checks from biabduction, so it will be easier to change and faster and more reliable. Moreover, this check is more general, it will flag any use of unchecked strongSelf, not just a dereference.

Summary:
Let's introduce a set of new cost analysis issue types that are raised when the function is statically determined to run on the UI thread. For this, we rely on the existing `runs_on_ui_thread` check that is developed for RacerD. We also update the cost summary and `jsonbug.cost_item` to include whether a method is on the ui thread so that we don't repeatedly compute this at diff time for complexity increase issues.
Note that `*_UI_THREAD` cost issues are assumed to be more strict than `*_COLD_START` reports at the moment. Next, we can also consider adding a new issue type that combines both such as `*_UI_THREAD_AND_COLD_START` (i.e. for methods that are both on cold start and run on ui thread).

Summary:
Introduce a new experimental checker (`--impurity`) that detects
impurity information, tracking which parameters and global variables
of a function are modified. The checker relies on Pulse to detect how
the state changes: it traverses the pre and post pairs starting from
the parameter/global variable and finds where the pre and post heaps
diverge. At diversion points, we expect to see WrittenTo/Invalid attributes
containing a trace of how the address was modified. We use these to
construct the trace of impurity.
This checker is a complement to the purity checker that exists mainly
for Java (and used for cost and loop-hoisting analyses). The aim of
this new experimental checker is to rely on Pulse's precise
memory treatment and come up with a more precise im(purity)
analysis. To distinguish the two checkers, we introduce a new issue
type `IMPURE_FUNCTION` that reports when a function is impure, rather
than when it is pure (as in the purity checker).
TODO:
- improve the analysis to rely on impurity information of external
library calls. Currently, all library calls are assumed to be nops,
hence pure.
- de-entangle Pulse reporting from analysis.

We don't plan to support `Present` annotation for optional types in the

Support of `Present` annotation requires extra levels of abstraction
that make the changing the behavior and introducing new features harder.
A lot of checks for nullability are written in generic way so they also
check for presense.
Getting rid of that will allow us to simplify our

Implementation of write-serializer for Sqlite. Points of note:
- A Unix socket is used for communication. This avoids buffer-size limitations, as the objects we send for writing may exceed said limits.
- No daemon is used if running under buck or in genrule mode, as this usually means a single-threaded job capturing into the DB.
- When the daemon is running, read-only access is *not* enforced for other processes. This makes starting and stopping the daemon during Infer execution easier and more robust. In WAL mode this should not have any effect on performance.
- This version is not economical with connections, it uses one per query, todo.

Summary:
I found it very confusing that running infer with --debug makes the
report to be different.
Intuitively, I expect (and I think majority of users would expect) that
`--debug` makes things more verbose (and potentially more slow / consuming
more memory and disk space), but does not change anything apart from it.
One pro of preserving existing behavior, pointed by jvillard:
- Suppose some check is experimental or disabled in the config. The
users expect the issue to be found, but it does not show up. They run
`infer --debug` to understand the behavior, and suddenly the issue shows
up.
I, hovewer, find this pro not important enough and potentially confusing
the users even more.
(If they want to investigate seriously, they can always use
--no-filtering, and there are a lot of cases when the issue does not
show up for others, much hard to undertand reasons, than the fact that
it is disabled).
