Summary:
This diff implements part of the memory management for Objective-C classes in ARC, namely that `dealloc` is called when the objects become unreachable. In reality the semantics of ARC says that this happens when their reference count becomes 0, but we are not modelling this yet in Pulse. However, we could in the future.
This fixes false positives memory leaks when the memory is freed in dealloc.
`dealloc` is often implicit in Objective-C, it also calls the dealloc of instance variables and superclass. None of this is implemented yet, and will be done in a future diff. This will be added in the frontend probably, similarly to how it's done for C++ destructors.
This is an important part of modelling Objective-C semantics in Infer, I looked at whether this should be a preanalysis to be used by all analyses but this needs Pulse. So the idea is that any analysis that needs to understand Objective-C memory model well, should have Pulse as a preanalysis.

Summary:
This function had been computing the name for ObjC methods wrong, with only the class name. This was causing wrong error messages in Pulse.
The main issue was that `Procname.to_simplified_string` was writing `Classname::methodname` for ObjC methods, which is not the convention. This confused the `hashable_name` funtion. So changing the method name to `Classname.methodname` which is more standard, and this also fixes `hashable_name`.

Summary:
Just like `CFBridgingRelease` we want to be able to model functions that are specific to a given codebase that make a transfer of memory ownership so that developers don't need to worry about releasing that memory anymore, and hence, we don't want to report leaks on that memory.
Things get a little more complicated, because some of the functions we want to model are in a specific namespace, so with this flag we take both cases into account, when we are dealing with namespaces or not.

Summary:
Because in the real semantics CFRelease can be used more than once, and also the variables can be used after CFRelease in general, modelling this as `free` causes many `USE_AFTER_FREE` errors. Now we change the model to not add the `Invalid CFree` attribute, but to just remove the `Allocated` attribute. So we can model memory leaks in the simple case of `Create` and not `CFRelease` before going out of scope, but we avoid the `USE_AFTER_FREE`.
Since the model for CFRelease now diverges from free, changed the command line option for modelling to `pulse-model-release-pattern`.

Summary: We currently don't support abducing the spec that we need to delete an attribute, that makes the model for `CFBridgingRelease` work les well when it is, for instance, wrapped in a method. We show examples of how this doesn't work at the moment.

Summary:
We model `malloc` in Objective-C as `malloc_not_fail` I think because the null case is not normally handled in iOS apps because the OS will just killed the app after giving some memory warnings.
So adding `malloc_not_fail` model to Pulse.

Summary:
This translates the construct `ObjCBridgedCastExpr` when the cast_kind is `OBC_BridgeTransfer`, or in syntax, the cast (`__bridge_transfer`).
This cast means that the object is passed from manual memory management to ARC, so one doesn't need to call `release` manually. It is important to model this to avoid false positives.
It translates it as a builtin that we then model in Pulse, the same way we modelled `CFBridgingRelease` which does the same thing.
The name of the builtin is `__free_cf` which is not ideal but I left it like that for compatibility with biabduction. We can change it once we remove this check from biabduction.

Summary: `CFBridgingRelease` and `__bridge_transfer` which I'll model later, transfer the memory model from manual memory ref count to ARC (automatic ref count), so to avoid false positives this needs to be modelled. We can simply remove the Allocated attribute from the state, which means we won't try to track that memory anymore.

This models all the Create and Copy functions from CoreGraphics, examples in the tests.
These functions all allocate memory that needs to be manually released.
The modelling of the release functions will happen in a following diff. Until then, we have some false positives in the tests.
This check is currently in biabduction, and we aim to move it to Pulse.

Summary:
bigmacro_bender
There are 3 ways pulse tracks history. This is at least one too many. So
far, we have:
1. "histories": a humble list of "events" like "assigned here", "returned from call", ...
2. "interproc actions": a structured nesting of calls with a final "action", eg "f calls g calls h which does blah"
3. "traces", which combine one history with one interproc action
This diff gets rid of interproc actions and makes histories include
"nested" callee histories too. This allows pulse to track and display
how a value got assigned across function calls.
Traces are now more powerful and interleave histories and interproc
actions. This allows pulse to track how a value is fed into an action,
for instance performed in callee, which itself creates some more
(potentially now interprocedural) history before going to the next step
of the action (either another call or the action itself).
This gives much better traces, and some examples are added to showcase
this.
There are a lot of changes when applying summaries to keep track of
histories more accurately than was done before, but also a few
simplifications that give additional evidence that this is the right
concept.
