Summary:
Similarly as for issue types, we want to generate the website
documentation from infer itself so we can easily cross-reference
checkers and the issue types they report.
This imports the website documentation written for some (very few) of
the checkers. I wrote some cursory one-liners for the rest.

Summary:
This seems to make sense as it's a separate analysis (that depends on
biabduction). This introduces unpleasant `|| is_checker_enabled TOPL`
whenever we try to figure out if biabduction will run. I think this is a
more general problem that deserves a more general solution to express
the fact that checkers can depend on others, so that, eg,
`is_checker_enabled Purity` is true when we pass `--loop-hoisting`. Will
address in another diff.

Summary:
Just like `CFBridgingRelease` we want to be able to model functions that are specific to a given codebase that make a transfer of memory ownership so that developers don't need to worry about releasing that memory anymore, and hence, we don't want to report leaks on that memory.
Things get a little more complicated, because some of the functions we want to model are in a specific namespace, so with this flag we take both cases into account, when we are dealing with namespaces or not.

Summary:
Because in the real semantics CFRelease can be used more than once, and also the variables can be used after CFRelease in general, modelling this as `free` causes many `USE_AFTER_FREE` errors. Now we change the model to not add the `Invalid CFree` attribute, but to just remove the `Allocated` attribute. So we can model memory leaks in the simple case of `Create` and not `CFRelease` before going out of scope, but we avoid the `USE_AFTER_FREE`.
Since the model for CFRelease now diverges from free, changed the command line option for modelling to `pulse-model-release-pattern`.

problem: Inferbo generated too many of abstract locations, especially when struct types had many pointer fields and Inferbo was not able to analyze the objects precisely. Since the number of generated abstract locations were exponential to the number of fields, it resulted in OOM in the end.

Summary:
The goals are to have all the checker definitions and documentation in one
place (except how to actually run them, since that's not quite the same
concept; for example inferbo is one checker but several analyses depend on its
symbolic execution), and later on to be able to link issues reported by infer
back to the checker that generated them.
This makes apparent that the documentation of our checkers is lacking,
not touching that in this diff.
Not sure if "analysis" would be a better name than "checker" at this
point? For instance "Linters" is one of the checkers, which historically
at least we have not considered to be the case.

The `--continue-analysis` option enables continuing analysis after more targets are captured by
`--continue`. For example,
```
$ infer capture -- buck build tgt1
$ infer analyze --merge
$ infer capture --continue -- bucck build tgt2
$ infer analyze --merge --continue-analyze
```
In the last analysis, it reuses the analysis results of `tgt1` from the previous analysis. If
`tgt1` and `tgt2` have a same dependency to a library, the analysis results of the library is also
reused.

Summary:
This changes how we select amongst our (currently) 4 Buck integrations
for Java and clang, as well as how the user's choice is reflected by the
Config module.
The old command line interface is still supported but is now deprecated.
The changes in how to select each integration are:
- clang via "flavors", activated with `--flavors`, now with `--buck-clang`
- clang via "compilation DB", activated with `--buck-compilation-database`, unchanged
- Java via "genrule", activated with `--genrule-master-mode`, now with `--buck-java`
- Java "without genrules", used to be activated by *not specifying any other Buck mode*, unchanged
Instead of various `Config` flags corresponding to the previous CLI that
are allowed in any combination of `flavors`,
`buck_compilation_database`, `genrule_master_mode`, `Config` now exposes
a single `buck_mode` datatype. This allows, eg, `flavors` to override
`buck_compilation_database` if needed. It will also make it easier to
get rid of the old "Java without genrules" integration in a later diff
(see inline comments).

Summary:
Introduce a new experimental checker (`--impurity`) that detects
impurity information, tracking which parameters and global variables
of a function are modified. The checker relies on Pulse to detect how
the state changes: it traverses the pre and post pairs starting from
the parameter/global variable and finds where the pre and post heaps
diverge. At diversion points, we expect to see WrittenTo/Invalid attributes
containing a trace of how the address was modified. We use these to
construct the trace of impurity.
This checker is a complement to the purity checker that exists mainly
for Java (and used for cost and loop-hoisting analyses). The aim of
this new experimental checker is to rely on Pulse's precise
memory treatment and come up with a more precise im(purity)
analysis. To distinguish the two checkers, we introduce a new issue
type `IMPURE_FUNCTION` that reports when a function is impure, rather
than when it is pure (as in the purity checker).
TODO:
- improve the analysis to rely on impurity information of external
library calls. Currently, all library calls are assumed to be nops,
hence pure.
- de-entangle Pulse reporting from analysis.

Summary:
I found it very confusing that running infer with --debug makes the
report to be different.
Intuitively, I expect (and I think majority of users would expect) that
`--debug` makes things more verbose (and potentially more slow / consuming
more memory and disk space), but does not change anything apart from it.
One pro of preserving existing behavior, pointed by jvillard:
- Suppose some check is experimental or disabled in the config. The
users expect the issue to be found, but it does not show up. They run
`infer --debug` to understand the behavior, and suddenly the issue shows
up.
I, hovewer, find this pro not important enough and potentially confusing
the users even more.
(If they want to investigate seriously, they can always use
--no-filtering, and there are a lot of cases when the issue does not
show up for others, much hard to undertand reasons, than the fact that
it is disabled).

Removing the include models shows a more accurate picture of what infer results

biabduction but also in inferbo. SIOF was using include-based models too but
now libc++ is better and iostreams are implemented in a way that SIOF
understands (instead of being magical creatures) so nothing changed there.

Summary:
The default values of config options can sometimes depend on build-time
configuration values. This makes checking that the manuals "remain the same"
trickier as the manuals can be different depending on the platform. This
removes *all* default values from the checked-in manuals. We could be more
fine-grained and scrub only the values that are susceptible to change but for
now this is probably good enough.
This is done by implementing new options `--help-scrubbed` and
`--help-scrubbed-full` and using these in our tests instead of `--help` and
`--help-full` (which remain unaffected).
Also don't wrap the default values in `$(i,...)` anymore because the defaults
can trigger line breaks and then the man page is ill-formatted because that
format is stupid.

Summary:
This is a simple checker that identifies inefficient uses of `keySet` iterator where (not only the key but also) the value is accessed via `get(key)`. It is more efficient to use `entrySet` iterator which already returns both key-value pairs. This optimization would get rid of many extra lookups which can be expensive.
We simply traverse the CFG starting from the loop head upwards and pick up the map that is iterated over. Then, we check in the loop nodes if there is a call to `get(...)` over this map. If, so we report.
