Summary:
The Eradicate backend is reporting nullable type errors, that are not always necessarily leading to null pointer exceptions.
For example, the analysis is designed to be consistent with the Java type system and report on the following code:
String foo(boolean test) {
Object object = test ? new Object() : null;
if (test) {
return object.toString(); // the analysis reports here
}
}
even though the code will not crash.
In order to make this aspect clear, this diff renames the warnings `Null Method Call` and `Null Field Access` into `Nullable Dereference`

Summary: This allows Eradicate to detect more issues related to inconsistent annotations with sub-typing.

Summary: The `procedure` field in the final report should use the non-ambiguous fully qualified name containing the Java package declaration and the list of parameter types.

Summary:
It's useful to test that the bucket a given error is classified as doesn't
change over time without notice.
This records the bucket for *all* the tests, even though some never produce a
bucket. This is to be on the safe size instead of risking to forget adding the
bucket information when the test changes, or when copy/pasting from a test that
doesn't have buckets to one that does.
The implementation is pretty crude: it greps the beginning of the qualifier
string for a `[bucket]`.

Change the license of the source code from BSD + PATENTS to MIT.
Change `checkCopyright` to reflect the new license and learn some new file
types.

Summary: With the genrule approach, the directory the generated script is run from is inside `buck-out`. So we need to specify the project root before calling the `buck` command.

Summary:
This is to fix the conflicts between Eradicate and the Biabduction when reporting the same kind of errors: when Eradicate is on, the Eradicate warnings will have priority over the null deference reported by the biabduction.
If this approach proved to be successful in prod, I will refactor the reporting mechanism in the analysis itself to simply not report the null dereference in this case at all. For the codebases that aren't yet fully consistently using `Nullable`, this combined approach looks like a good way to deploy Infer toward full null safety.

Summary:
This allows Eradicate to lookup the annotations from the classpath and without requiring the code in the classpath to have been previously analyzed. The benefit is that source files can be analyzed independently of each other as long as the classpath is known.
The main goal is to run be able to run Eradicate as a linter without losing warnings.
We may have to add some more models of the standard libraries as no `Nullable` on a parameter does not necessarily mean that the method does not accept `null`.

Summary:
This makes it more obvious why infer would force a path to be absolute since we
base that decision on the resolved path. For instance:
```
$ mkdir foo
$ cd foo
$ ln -s ../examples goo
$ infer -- clang -c goo/hello.c
[...]
/home/jul/infer/examples/hello.c:14: error: NULL_DEREFERENCE
```
We see that the path is outside of the current directory clearly, whereas
before infer would report on "goo/hello.c".

Summary:
- Only generate one extra genrule for running infer. Remove all other java library rules currently being generated
- Generate infer genrule only if the `java_library` has `srcs`, otherwise there is nothing to analyze
- Use `SRCDIR` to avoid making a copy of the target sources as buck will just symlink them instead
- Added support for `android_library` rules as well
- Added support to generate both `infer` and `eradicate` genrules
