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).

Note: Disabled by default.
Having some support for values, we can report when a null or constant
value is being dereferenced. The particularity here is that we don't
report when 0 is a possible value for the address, or even if we know
that the value of the address can only be 0 in that branch! Instead, we
allow ourselves to report only when we the address has been *set* to
NULL (or any constant).
This is in line with how pulse deals with other issues: only report when
1. we see an address become invalid, and
2. we see the same address be used later on

Summary:
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.

Summary:
`Present` annotation was an experiment made many years ago that never
got into real usage. The idea was to annotate Optional<> types with
Present, which means that it is safe to call get().
We don't plan to support `Present` annotation for optional types in the
near future.
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
work for introducing new semantics for nullsafe.

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).

Summary:
The default values of config options can sometimes depend on build-time
configuration values. This makes checking that the manuals "remain the same"
trickier as the manuals can be different depending on the platform. This
removes *all* default values from the checked-in manuals. We could be more
fine-grained and scrub only the values that are susceptible to change but for
now this is probably good enough.
This is done by implementing new options `--help-scrubbed` and
`--help-scrubbed-full` and using these in our tests instead of `--help` and
`--help-full` (which remain unaffected).
Also don't wrap the default values in `$(i,...)` anymore because the defaults
can trigger line breaks and then the man page is ill-formatted because that
format is stupid.

Summary:
This is a simple checker that identifies inefficient uses of `keySet` iterator where (not only the key but also) the value is accessed via `get(key)`. It is more efficient to use `entrySet` iterator which already returns both key-value pairs. This optimization would get rid of many extra lookups which can be expensive.
We simply traverse the CFG starting from the loop head upwards and pick up the map that is iterated over. Then, we check in the loop nodes if there is a call to `get(...)` over this map. If, so we report.
