Summary:
Whenever we see a use of a lock, infer that the current method can run in a multithreaded context. But only report when there's a write under a lock that can be read or written without synchronization elsewhere.
For now, we only infer this based on the direct usage of a lock; we don't assume a caller runs in a multithreaded context just because its (transitive) callee can.
We can work on that trickier case later, and we can work on smarter inference that takes reads under sync into account. But for now, warning on unprotected writes of reads that occur under sync appears to be too noisy.

This was a crutch from the days before ownership analysis.
We shouldn't need it anymore, and it was actually causing FP's because we were skipping analysis of `ImmutableList.builder()` and not understanding that the return value is owned.

Summary:
1. Mark some Makefile targets as depending on `MAKEFILE_LIST` so they get rebuilt on Makefile changes
2. Do not show boolean options with no documentation in the man pages (like we do for other option types).
3. Default to Lazy dynamic dispatch for the checkers.
4. In the tests, use `--<checker>-only` instead of relying on `--no-default-checkers`
5. `--no-filtering` is redundant if `--debug-exceptions` is passed

Summary:
Previously, annotating something ThreadSafe meant "check that it is safe to run all of this procedure's methods in parallel with each other" (including self-parallelization).
This makes sense, but it means that if the user writes no annotations, we do no checking.
I'm moving toward a model of inferring when an access might happen on a thread that can run concurrently with other threads, then automatically checking that it is thread-safe w.r.t to all other accesses to the same memory (on or off the current thread thread).
This will let us report even when there are no `ThreadSafe` annotations.
Any method that is known to run on a new thread (e.g., `Runnable.run`) will be modeled as running on a thread that can run in parallel with other threads, and so will any method that is `synchronized` or acquires a lock.
In this setup, adding `ThreadSafe` to a method just means: "assume that the current method can run in parallel with any thread, including another thread that includes a different invocation of the same method (a self race) unless you see evidence to the contrary" (e.g., calling `assertMainThread` or annotating with `UiThread`).
The key step in this diff is changing the threads domain to abstract *what threads the current thread may run in parallel with* rather than *what the current thread* is. This makes things much simpler.

Summary:
Previously, we just tracked a boolean representing whether we were possibly on the main thread (true) or definitely not on the main thread (false).
In order to start supporting `Thread.start`, `Runnable.run`, etc., we'll need something more expressive.
This diff introduces a lattice:
```
Any
/ \
Main Background
\ /
Unknown
```
as the new threads domain. The initial value is `Unknown`, and we introduce `Main` in situations where we would have introduced `true` before.
This (mostly) preserves behavior: the main difference is that before code like
```
if (*) {
assertMainThread()
} else {
x.f = ...
}
```
would have recorded that the access to `x.f` was on the main thread, whereas now we'll say that it's on an unknown thread.

Summary:
Since D5381239, infer is careful not to delete directories that do not "look
like" results directories on startup, in case the user passed, eg, `-o /`.
In our repo, lots of results dir are created by build/test of infer, and when
the version of infer changes and the expected contents of results directories
change then it might start refusing to delete the results directories created
with another version of infer.
Add an option to force infer to delete the results directory no matter how
dodgy it looks, and use it in our repo by adding the option in every
.inferconfig.

Summary:
We previously lumped ownership predicates in with all other predicates. That limited us to a flat ownership domain.
This diff separates out the ownership predicates so we can have a richer lattice of predicates with each access path.
This lets us be more precise; for example, we can now show that
```
needToOwnBothParams(Obj o1, Obj o2) {
Obj alias;
if (*) { alias = o1; } else { alias = o2; }
alias.f = ... // both o1 and o2 need to be owned for this to be safe
}
void ownBothParamsOk() {
needToOwnBothParams(new Obj(), new Obj()); // ok, would have complained before
}
```
is safe.

The way we represented container writes before was pretty hacky: just use a dummy field for the name of the method that performs the container write.
This diff introduces a new access kind for container writes that is much more structured.
This will make it easier to soundly handle aliasing between containers and support container reads in the near future.
