Summary: This adds a check for when developers use weakSelf (and maybe strongSelf) in a block, when there is no need for it, because it won't cause a retain cycle. In general there is an annotation in Objective-C for methods that take blocks, NS_NOESCAPE, that means that the passed block won't leave the scope, i.e. is "no escaping". So we report when weakSelf is used and the block has the annotation.

Summary: The translation of closures includes a load instruction for the captured variable, then we add that corresponding id to the closure. This doesn't correspond to an actual "use" of the captured variable in the source program though, and causes false positives. Here we remove the ids from the domain when that id is being added to a closure.

Summary:
Adding a new check as part of the SelfInBlock checker, for cases when a strong pointer to self, that is not self, is captured in the block.
This will cover the following wrong scenarios:
1. strongSelf is a local variable in a block as it should be, and then it's used in a sub-block, in which case it's a captured variable.
2. weakSelf is defined without the weak attribute by mistake.

Summary: We were reporting strongSelf Not Checked when the variable was checked in a conditional, this diff fixes that.

Summary: I noticed when looking into a false positive of strongSelf Not Checked, that there were some inconsistencies in the translation of if statements with an and, with an extra redundant join only if using a method in the condition that returned an object. So I could repro the problem and investigate and found the place of the inconsistency in the translation. This diff fixes it without changing things too much.

Summary: After receiving feedback about this, I'm changing the reporting of strongSelf Not Checked to only in cases where it can cause a crash. Here I'm adding reporting for field access, and removing general reporting. In a next diff, I'll also add reporting for passing strongSelf to methods in not explicitly nullable positions.

Summary: Raises an error when weakSelf is used multiple times in a block. The issue is that there could be unexpected behaviour. Even if `weakSelf` is not nil in the first use, it could be nil in the following uses since the object that `weakSelf` points to could be freed anytime.

Summary:
The variable strongSelf, because it is equal to a weak captured pointer, needs to be checked for null before being used, otherwise it could be null by the time the block is executed.
Added this check to the SelfInBlock checker, and removed it from biabduction.
We want to migrate all the objc checks from biabduction, so it will be easier to change and faster and more reliable. Moreover, this check is more general, it will flag any use of unchecked strongSelf, not just a dereference.
