Summary:
**Existing heuristic**: If we have a call `foo(n)` that has no model and summary for `foo`, we underestimate its cost as constant[1].
However, if we have a model for `foo` (e.g.with modeled cost O(n)) but applying the model to arguments causes the cost to be Top (e.g if `n` has Top size), then we could have Top-poisoning where all the callers up the call chain will have Top costs [2].
To prevent these unintended Top-poisioning when adding models, this diff applies *the same heuristic* to modeled calls with Top cost and gives them constant cost. This way, when adding models, we wouldn't be introducing more Tops than if we were to have no models in the first place.
[1] This is problematic in itself and causes many FPs at diff time, but otherwise we would be getting Tops everywhere and would not be able to give any meaningful cost. E.g. for fblite, if we were to give unknown calls Top cost, #procedures with Top cost increases form 5% to 38% and #procedures with linear cost reduces by 99.75%.
[2] This was observed for `containsValue` for Instagram where %Tops increased by 88% :(

Summary:
This diff revises the translation of message expression's arguments in ObjC frontend. In the
frontend, it massages the arguments when calling a static method, so the class or object value is
not given to the static method as the first parameter.
The problem is that it used a raise-exception-and-catch way to detect where we remove the first
parameter. This way of using an exception is not only hard to understand, but also incorrectly
removed the first parameter, with breaking abstract semantics sometimes. (See the added test.) This diff
avoids using the exception.

Summary:
As title
Model `NSString` as `JavaString`.
Since `NSArray` does not contain information about its type of element, we do not use associate string with collection as in Java and C++. In Java, String model is implemented using java collection, and for C++, string model is implemented using vector.
So instead, we use existing `JavaString` model.
