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.

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.

Let's introduce a set of new cost analysis issue types that are raised when the function is statically determined to run on the UI thread. For this, we rely on the existing `runs_on_ui_thread` check that is developed for RacerD. We also update the cost summary and `jsonbug.cost_item` to include whether a method is on the ui thread so that we don't repeatedly compute this at diff time for complexity increase issues.
Note that `*_UI_THREAD` cost issues are assumed to be more strict than `*_COLD_START` reports at the moment. Next, we can also consider adding a new issue type that combines both such as `*_UI_THREAD_AND_COLD_START` (i.e. for methods that are both on cold start and run on ui thread).

This diff tries more narrowing during analysis in order to get preciser results on nested loops.
In the widening phase, it does narrowing a loop right after its widening, for each loops. In general, this may make the widening phase non-terminating because it keeps the abstract state from monotonely increasing to the fixed point in a finite number of iterations. To avoid that situation, this diff applies the narrowing only when the first visit of the loop in the widening phase.

Summary:
This diff adds semantics of Java function calls of enum `values` inside class initializers.
* Java class initializer function initializes a specific field `$VALUES`, which points to the list
of enum values.
* The `values` function of enum class returns the value of `$VALUES`.
The problem is when the `values` function is called inside the class initializer, for example:
```
enum Color {
RED,
GREEN,
BLUE;
static {
for (Color c : Color.values()) {}
}
}
```
This introduces a recursive dependency: the class initializer calls `Color.values` and the function
returns `Color.$VALUES` the value of which should be initialized in the class initializer.
To address the problem, this diff finds the value of `$VALUES` in its abstract memory when
`values` is called inside the class initializer.

Add precision to analysis by elaborating the thread-status domain. This is done by having unknown (bottom), UI, BG or Any (both/top) elements in the lattice. This way, when we branch on thread-identity (if I am on UI thread do this, otherwise do that), we know that in one branch we are on UI thread and on the other we are *not* on the UI thread (BG thread), where previously the other branch would just go to top.
With this knowledge we can throw away pairs that come from callees which run on a thread that is impossible, given the current caller thread identity. This can happen when annotations are used incorrectly, and since this is the purview of annot-reachability, we just drop those pairs entirely.
