Delete the following outdated pages. Some of them have better
replacements now but some of them are just too out of date to easily
salvage.
- 01-adding-models.md: this is biabduction-specific and hard to make
that distinction. Most checkers have no way to add models. Even
suggesting that people add their own biabduction models was a bit
awkward as it requires recompiling infer to use.
- 01-checkers.md: outdated document that describes "new" checkers like
Quandary :)
- 01-experimental-checkers.md: very outdated!
- 02-limitations.md: also outdated: it roughly says "we don't do concurrency or
arithmetic, the former is basically impossible but the latter should
be easy"... well, 5 years later this hasn't aged too well ;)
- 01-eradicate.md: content has moved to auto-generated documentation
- 01-linters.md: content has moved to auto-generated documentation

all issue types for easy tooling. Each checker page also lists the
issue types it can report.
For now only issue types with documentation appear in either page,

Summary:
This provides some of the infrastructure needed for documentation issue
types within infer itself so we can generate the website and keep it up
to date when introducing new issue types.
Basically each issue type has documentation in its datatype in OCaml
now. But, documentation strings can be several pages of text! To avoid
making IssueType.ml even more unreadable, add the option to write
documentation in long form in files in infer/documentation/issues/.
This implements `infer help --help-issue-type` and show-cases how
documentation works for a couple of issue types. Next diff bulk-imports
the current website documentation in this form.

fbshipit-source-id: e8acaf432
Summary:
Instead of relying on Exp.nondet to encode the semantics of LLVM's
undef, translate each to a per-function unique register, with a nondet
assignment to it prior to each use. This avoids the need for
Exp.nondet, which is ill-formed in the sense that expressions denote
values, not sets of values (with particular constraints on what ways
in which the choice must be angelic vs demonic). This change
essentially allows the backend to be sane, and makes it the frontend's
problem to deal with LLVM's undef.
This treatment, like the treatment based on Exp.nondet, is expected to
result in LLAIR code with different semantics of undef compared to the
semantics of LLVM described in the
[LangRef](https://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#undefined-values). In
particular, the LLVM LangRef states
> An ‘undef’ “variable” can arbitrarily change its value over its
> “live range”. This is true because the variable doesn’t actually
> have a live range. Instead, the value is logically read from
> arbitrary registers that happen to be around when needed, so the
> value is not necessarily consistent over time.
To model this ability of undef to arbitrarily change its value over
its live range, it is likely that additional nondet assignments would
need to be added. Exactly where it not currently known.

Refactor frontend translation of LLVM values, opcodes, etc. to support
emitting not only a LLAIR expression, but also a sequence of
instructions to be prefixed onto the uses of the resulting expression.
This is currently unused, as all prefixes are empty. Later, it will be
used to translate e.g. `undef` to `r := nondet(); r`.

Summary:
There was an issue on `make build_ant_test` that newly generated `issues.exp.test` is empty. When
infer runs with `-- ant`, if there is already built objects in `ant_out`, infer analyzes nothing,
which result in the empty `issues.exp.test`. For example,
```
~/infer/infer/tests/build_systems/ant$ make test
[11:26:49][36924] Testing ant integration...
[ 2s][36924] SUCCESS Testing ant integration
~/infer/infer/tests/build_systems/ant$ touch `which infer`
```
The makefile tries to reanalyze ant targets because `infer` binary has been changed. However, there
is nothing to build/analyze, since `ant_out` still exists as the same.
```
~/infer/infer/tests/build_systems/ant$ make test

Summary:
By and large issues of a given type (eg NULL_DEREFERENCE) are always
reported with the same severity (eg ERROR), but that severity is hard to
tease out from the code. This makes it more explicit by favouring the
default in `IssueType.t` in many cases without changing infer's
behaviour. The checkers typically use `Reporting.log_{error,warning}`;
these are taken care of in the next diff.

Summary:
- "visibility" (whether an issue to report is something to show the user
or something that is only used for debugging or for detecting other
issues) is an intrinsic property of an issue type and thus belongs in
`IssueType.t`.
- "severity" (warning/error/...) is something that each issue should
have a default for ("a memory leak is by default an ERROR", a
"condition always true is by default a warning"), but can also be
overriden at run-time. Right now only nullsafe uses that capability:
when in "strict mode", some warnings become errors. We can imagine
extending this to other issue types, or even providing config flags to
turn warnings into errors, like compilers often have.
To guess the default severity (since it's dynamic it can be hard to know
for sure!), I tried to find places where it was reported as the source
of truth, but also later diffs test these defaults against our tests (by
removing most of the dynamic changes in severity).
With this diff there are 3 places where severity is set:
1. The default severity in IssueType.t: this is unused for now.
2. The severity from `Exceptions.recognize_exception`: this is
semi-statically determined and, if set, takes precedence over number 3 (which looks wrong to me!)
3. The severity passed to `Errlog.log_issue` when we actually add an
issue to the error log: this is used only when (2) is unset.
The next diffs will make 1 the default, delete 2, and make 3 optional
but override 1 when passed.
