Summary:
One standard way to schedule work is by starting a thread. We treat this by
- Treating invocations of `start` on a receiver with the `Runnable _` attribute as scheduling that runnable for parallel execution in the background (as opposed to on the UI thread).
- If `start` is used on an object of a subclass of `Thread` everything already works thanks to the `get_exp_attributes` function which will implicitly ascribe to an expression the attribute `Runnable _` if the expression points to an object with a known `run` method. This will even take care of some degree of dynamic dispatch, yay!
- If `start` is used on a `Thread` object which has been created with a constructor call provided with a `Runnable` argument, we have to appropriately model that constructor call, which is what is done in `do_call`.

Summary:
A current blind spot is when object construction stores specific executors / runnables to object fields, which are then never mutated and accessed from normal methods. IOW the attributes established in the constructor are necessary to report properly inside a normal method (assuming these attributes are not invalidated by method code).
To achieve this, first we retain a subset of the final state attributes in the summary (only those that affect instance variables, in constructor methods). Then, when we analyse a non-constructor method:
- we analyse all constructors
- remove all attributes from the attribute map whose key is not an expression of the form `this.x. ...`
- re-localise all remaining keys so that they appear as rooted in the `this` local variable of the current procedure
- join (intersect) all such attribute maps
- use the result in place of initial state as far as the attribute map is concerned for the analysis of the current procedure, which can now start.
This means we can catch idioms that use side-effectful initialisation for configuring certain object fields like executors or runnables.

Summary: Another way to schedule work in android is by posting it to a `Handler`. A handler can be constructed out of the main looper, which forces it to schedule work on the UI thread. To model all this, we add syntactic models for getting the main looper and for creating handlers, and dataflow attributes for tracking that an expression is a looper/the main looper, or a handler constructed out of a looper.

Summary:
This gets rid of false positives when something invalid (eg null) is
passed by reference to an initialisation function. Havoc'ing what the
contents of the pointer to results in being optimistic about said
contents in the future.
Also surprisingly gets rid of some FNs (which means it can also
introduce FPs) in the `std::atomic` tests because a path condition
becomes feasible with havoc'ing.
There's a slight refinement possible where we don't havoc pointers to
const but that's more involved and left as future work.

This diff fixes the model of substring.
Problem: The cost model of the substring function was to return `size of string - start index` as a
cost. However, sometimes this was a negative number, because of state abstractions on paths, array
elements, call contexts, etc, which caused an exception inadvertently.
This diff changes the model to return just `size of string`, when it cannot say `size of string` is
bigger than `start index`.

Instead of trying to figure out what runnable is directly passed to an executor,
use attributes to track the flow of a runnable. This has several advantages:
- Can track runnables across function return values.
- Can somewhat overcome the information loss under dynamic dispatch.
- Unifies handling with other attributes.

A plugin update allows infer to know when a function doesn't return

instruction to a function that does not return.

Summary:
This also prints the CFGs *after* pre-analysis for individual procedures
in infer-out/captured/<filename>/<proc>.dot. One can also look up the
CFGs before pre-analysis in infer-out/captured/proc_cfgs_frontend.dot.
Context: I want to add a pre-analysis that needs to look at proc
attributes inter-procedurally. For this to make sense it has to happen
*after* all of capture, and before analysis.
Thus, this diff brings back the lazy running of the pre-analysis like in
D15803492, except that we still make sure to run the pre-analyses
systematically regardless of the checkers being run by running the
pre-analysis from ondemand.ml. Also we don't need to re-introduce the
"did_preanalysis" proc attribute for the same reason that the
pre-analysis is now run once and for all by ondemand.ml (instead of each
individual checker back in the days).
This has the benefit of running the pre-analysis only when needed, and
the drawback that several concurrent processes analysing the same proc
descs will duplicate work. Since pre-analyses are supposed to be very
fast I assume that neither is a big deal. If they become more expensive
then the benefit gets bigger and the drawback is just the same as with
regular analyses.

Summary:
Whole bunch of changes aimed to make error messages more clear and
concise.
1/ Wording and language is unified. We make errors sound more like a
type system violations, rather than linter reccomendations.
Particularly, we refrain from saying things like "may be null" - this is
a linter-style statement that may provoke discussions (what if the
developer knows it can not be null in this particular case).
Instead, we refer to declared nullability and nullability of actual values. This way, it is more clear that this is not a heuristic, this is how rules of a type-system work.
2/ Additionally, we drop things like field class in places when the
context should be clear by who looks at the error. We expect the user
sees the code and the error caption. So e.g. we don't repeat the word "field"
twice.
3/ In cases when we are able to retrieve formal param name, we include it for
usability.
4/ For Field not initialized error, we refer to Initializer methods:
this is a non-obvious but important nullsafe feature.

Summary:
There was a precision loss during the substitution of array block. For example:
Callee's abstract memory includes an array block as follows, where `a` is a parameter.
```
a.elements -> { a.elements[*] with a.elements.size }
```
Callers' abstract memory includes a pointer that may point to multiple array blocks.
```
c -> { x, y }
x.elements -> { x.elements[*] with x.elements.size }
y.elements -> { y.elements[*] with y.elements.size }
```
When the callee is called with the parameter `c`, the callees memory is substituted to:
```
x.elements -> { x.elements[*] with top , y.elements[*] with top }
y.elements -> { x.elements[*] with top , y.elements[*] with top }
```
because `a.elements[*]` was substituted to `{ x.elements[*] , y.elements[*] }`
and `a.elements.size` was substituted to `top ( = x.elements.size join y.elements.size )`.
This diff tries to keep the precision in the specific case, not to join the sizes of array blocks.
So now the same callee's abstract memory is substituted to:
```
x.elements -> { x.elements[*] with x.elements.size }
y.elements -> { y.elements[*] with y.elements.size }
```

Summary:
In some apps executors are obtained by calling standard framework methods (and not by using DI with annotations).
To treat this style, we need to
- Detect calls that return such executors (`do_executor_effect`) and tag the return result with an `Attribute` indicating that it is now an executor, plus what thread it uses.
- Use that information when calling `execute`, to resolve the executor, if any, and its thread (in `do_work_scheduling` via `AttributeDomain.get_executor_constraint`).
- All this requires a new domain component, mapping variables to attributes. This extends the component previously used for remembering whether a variable is the result of a check on whether we run on the UI thread.
At the same time, I un-nested some functions from the transfer function for readability.
