Summary:
Expanding traces currently works in the following way:
Given a `TraceElem.Kind` `k` we want to report in `foo`, we look for a callee `C` of `foo` that has a `TraceElem.Kind` equal to `k` in its summary, grab the summary for `C`, then repeat until we bottom out.
This isn't very flexible: it insists on equality between `TraceElem.Kind`'s as the criteria for expanding a trace.
This diff introduces a new `matches` function for deciding when to expand a trace from a caller into a callee.
Clients that don't want strict equality can implement a fuzzier kind of equality inside this function.
I've gone ahead and done this for the trace elemes of thread-safety.
In the near future, equivalent access paths won't always compare equal from caller to callee, so we want to match their suffixes instead.

Summary:
We supported globals as sources before, but we did so by allowing ClangTrace etc. to match against any access path in the footprint of the trace.
This is very powerful/flexible, but it's ultimately not a good idea because it leads to traces that are hard to read.
This is because a footprint source doesn't have any information about its provenance: we might know that the value came from a global, but we don't know where the read occurred.
The mechanism for handling procedure calls as sources already knows how to solve this problem.
This diff implements globals as sources as a special case of procedure call sources instead.
This will give us much nicer traces with full provenance of the read from the global.

Summary:
- failwith police: no more `failwith`. Instead, use `Logging.die`.
- Introduce the `SimpleLogging` module for dying from modules where `Logging`
cannot be used (usually because that would create a cyclic dependency).
- always log backtraces, and show backtraces on the console except for usage errors
- Also point out in the log file where the toplevel executions of infer happen

We now represent the footprint with an access trie, so this code is no longer required.

Summary:
When a sink name is specified in `.inferconfig` or in OCaml, it might conflict with a function of the same name that has a different number of args.
We shouldn't try to create a sink in this case, and we definitely shouldn't crash.

Conversion and reformat of infer source using ocamlformat
auto-formatting tool.
Current status:
- Because Reason does not handle docstrings, the output of the
conversion is not 'Warning 50'-clean, meaning that there are
docstrings with ambiguous placement. I'll need to manually fix
them just before landing.

Summary:
First step toward addressing bad traces that happen in examples like
```
void sourceMethod() {
Obj source = (Obj) InferTaint.inferSecretSource();
callSameSink(null, source); // index: 1
}
void callSameSink(Obj o1, Obj o2) {
callMySink1(o1); // flows via o1 ~= index 0, don't expand
callMySink2(o2); // flows via o2 ~= index 1, can expand
}
void callMySink1(Obj o) {
... // maybe interesting something happens here that doesn't happen in callMySink2
InferTaint.inferSensitiveSink(o); // flows via o ~= index 0, can expand
}
void callMySink2(Obj o) {
InferTaint.inferSensitiveSink(o); // flows via o ~= index 0, can expand
}
```
The issue is that when we recreate a trace to the sink starting from `sourceMethod`, we don't know which of the calls to `callMySink` to expand/include in the trace.
If we expand the call to `callMySink(o1)`, we'll get a bogus trace.
In this example that's not such a big deal, but imagine the case where the first call to `callMySink` is a different function that transitively calls the sink through some long and confusing path.
Remembering the index at which taint flows into each sink will let us choose which sinks are safe to expand.
This diff just adds indexes to the API; it's not actually propagating the index info or using it during expansion yet.

Summary: We were almost always using `~report_reachable:true`, and in the cases where we weren't it is fine to do so. In general, a sink could read any state from its parameters, so it makes sense to complain if anything reachable from them is tainted.

Summary:
There's a lot of boilerplate work to be done when adding a new kind of source.
This diff tries to reduce the boilerplate by making a functor do all the work.
The functor:
(1) adds a notion of "footprint kind" to the source
(2) packages the source with a call site
