Summary:
One limitation of Eradicate is that certain nullability patterns are not expressible using simply the `Nullable` annotation.
One such pattern is using the knowledge that a function returns null when passed null, but returns an object otherwise.
The annotation `PropagatesNullable` is a variant of `Nullable` applied to parameters when their value propagates to the return value.
A method annotated
```
B m(PropagatesNullable A x) { return x == null ? x : B(x); }
```
indicates that `m` returns null if `x` is null, or an object of class `B` if the argument is not null.
Examples with multiple parameters are in the test cases.
This diff builds some infrastructure for annotation transformers: the example above represents the identity function on nullability annotations.

Summary:
Eradicate detects circular field initializations (e.g. a field initialized with itself)
by checking in the typestate at the end of the constructor whether the origin
of the field is a field name in the current class.
This has the problem that the following initialization pattern is not recognized as correct:
C(C x) { this.field = x.field }
To fix the issue, the origin information for field accesses x.f is extended
with the origin information of the inner object x.
Circularities are detected if the origin of x is "this".

Summary:
Eradicate currently considers a field initialized if it's simply accessed (not written to),
or initialized with another initialized field.
This fixes the issue.

Summary:
SuppressWarnings annotations are hardly used and add considerable
complexity due to requiring recompilation with an annotation processor.

Summary:
Record an abstraction of the bug traces in the tests. The abstraction of a
trace is the sequence of descriptions. In practice, descriptions are either
empty, or of the form "start/end/return from/call to procedure X". They seem
pretty stable.
Motivation: there is nothing testing the traces reported by Infer right now,
even though they are surfaced to developers. For instance, Quandary uses
--issues-txt instead of --issues-tests to make sure the traces do not regress.
This change would make this approach more widespread.

Summary:
This diff converts the Eradicate and Checkers tests to the new direct test format, which does not rely on buck or junit.
A self-contained Makefile is used to compile and analyze the test files, including all the dependencies, and a special option in InferPrint is used to produce a file of expected results `issues.exp`, which is checked into the repository.
Having an explicit Makefile makes it easy to edit and compile one set of test files in isolation, to investigate test failures, do debugging, etc.
A bunch of boilerplate code is removed. For example, the single file of expected results `issues.exp` replaces the 1.5K LOC in `endtoend/java/eradicate`.
