Summary:
- "visibility" (whether an issue to report is something to show the user
or something that is only used for debugging or for detecting other
issues) is an intrinsic property of an issue type and thus belongs in
`IssueType.t`.
- "severity" (warning/error/...) is something that each issue should
have a default for ("a memory leak is by default an ERROR", a
"condition always true is by default a warning"), but can also be
overriden at run-time. Right now only nullsafe uses that capability:
when in "strict mode", some warnings become errors. We can imagine
extending this to other issue types, or even providing config flags to
turn warnings into errors, like compilers often have.
To guess the default severity (since it's dynamic it can be hard to know
for sure!), I tried to find places where it was reported as the source
of truth, but also later diffs test these defaults against our tests (by
removing most of the dynamic changes in severity).
With this diff there are 3 places where severity is set:
1. The default severity in IssueType.t: this is unused for now.
2. The severity from `Exceptions.recognize_exception`: this is
semi-statically determined and, if set, takes precedence over number 3 (which looks wrong to me!)
3. The severity passed to `Errlog.log_issue` when we actually add an
issue to the error log: this is used only when (2) is unset.
The next diffs will make 1 the default, delete 2, and make 3 optional
but override 1 when passed.

Summary: Just for fun, and because killing InferPrint.ml is just so satisfying.
