Summary:
The current usage has several issues reducing code maintainability and
readability:
1. Null_field_access was misleading: it was used for checking accesing
to arrays as well!
2. But actually, when checking access to array via `length`, we sometimes
pretended it is a field access (hence very tricky code in rendering the
error).
3. "Call receiver consistency" is unclear name, was not obvious that it is all about
calling a method in an object.
Let's also consolidate code.

Summary: Before, we didn't track litho framework callees on client code which was wrong. Now, we replace this with the following: If the callee is `build()` itself or doesn't contain a `build()` in its summary, then we want to track it in the domain. The former makes sense since we always want to track `build()` methods. The latter also makes sense since such a method could be a setter for a prop (as in the case of `prop1` in `buildPropLithoOK` which we were missing before due to the imprecise heuristic that prevented picking up callees in litho).

Summary: As a heuristic, litho library calls on non-litho callers are not tracked. This is very imprecise and results in FPs and FNs as exemplified by newly added tests.

Summary:
This diff tries to narrowing the fixpoint of outermost loops, so that over-approximated widened values do not flow to the following code.
Problem: There are two phases for finding a fixpoint, widening and narrowing. First, it finds a fixpoint with widening, in function level. After that, it finds a fixpoint with narrowing. A problem is that sometimes an overly-approximated, imprecise, values by widening are flowed to the following loops. They are hard to narrow in the narrowing phase because there is a cycle preventing it.
To mitigate the problem, it tries to do narrowing, in loop level, right after it found a fixpoint of a loop. Thus, it narrows before the widened values are flowed to the following loops. In order to guarantee the termination of the analysis, this eager narrowing is applied only to the outermost loops.

1. `IteratorOffset` is a relation between a iterator offset and a length of another array. For example, in the above example, after n-times of iterations, the offset of the iterator (if it exists) and the length of `list2` are the same as `n`.
2. `IteratorHasNext` is a relation between iterator and its `hasNext` result.
3. At the conditional nodes, it prunes the alias list length of `list2` by that of `list1`.
* if `hasNext(list1's iterator)` is true, `list2`'s length is pruned by `< list1's length`
* if `hasNext(list1's iterator)` is false, `list2`'s length is pruned by `= list1's length`

Summary:
The old domain keeps two sets:
- `events` are things (including lock acquisitions) which eventually happen during the execution of a procedure.
- `order` are pairs of `(lock, event)` such that there is a trace through the procedure which at some point acquires `lock` and before releasing it performs `event`.
A deadlock would be reported if for two procedures, `(lock1,lock2)` is in `order` of procedure 1 and `(lock2,lock1)` is in `order` of procedure 2. This condition/domain allowed for the false positive fixed in the tests, as well as was unwieldy, because it required translating between the two sets.
The new domain has only one set of "critical pairs" `(locks, event)` such that there is a trace where `event` occurs, and *right before it occurs* the locks held are exactly `locks` (no over/under approximation). This allows keeping all information in one set, simplifies the procedure call handling and eliminates the known false positive.

This was causing a crash, because when trying to create a procname from a block at that point we don't have the block return type, which is needed for the name. I don't understand why BlockDecl doesn't contain the type, but I looked again and it doesn't (also in clang). So in general we need to pass it from the context, but that's not possible in this case.
Also, one could argue that such a block is not a method from the struct, since it's just a block that is assigned to a field as initialization.

Summary:
This continues work for eliminating Annot.Item.t from Nullsafe low-level
code.
The introduced function `from_nullsafe_type` is called when we infer
initial type of the equation based on the function or field formal signature.
Before that, we did it via reading the annotation directly, which
complicates the logic and making introducing Unknown nullability tricky.
## Clarifying the semantics of PropagatesNullable
This diff also clarifies (and changes) the behavior of PropagatesNullable params.
Previously, if the return value of a function that has PropagatesNullable params was
annotated as Nullable, nullsafe was effectively ignoring PropagatesNullable effect.
This is especially bad because one can add Nullable annotation based on the logic "if the function can return `null`, it should be annotated with Nullable`.
In the new design, there is no possibility for such a misuse: the code that
applies the rule "any param is PropagatesNullable hence the return
value is nullable even if not explicitly annotated" lives in NullsafeType.ml, so
this will be automatically taken into account.
Meaning that now we implicitly deduce Nullable annotation for the return value, and providing it explicitly as an alternative that does not change the effect.
In the future, we might consider annotating the return value with `Nullable` explicit.

Summary:
In the cost checker, the range of selected control variables are used to estimate the number of loop iteration. However, sometimes the ranges of control variables are not related to how many times the loop iteration. This diff strengthens the condition for them as:
1. integers from `size` models
2. integers constructed from `+` or `-`
3. integers constructed from `*`
For the last one, the loop iteration is likely to be log scale of the range of the control variable:
```
while (i < c) {
i *= 2;
}
```
We will address this in the future.

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.

```

the loop will iterates as the file size, but the control variable `c` does not have that value. In
these cases, it assigns a symbolic value of the file size to the modeled range of `c`, then which
is used when calculating the overall cost.

Summary:
In D17156724, we forked nullsafe tests, which was a strategy to
introduce nullsafe-gradual mode back then.
The reason was "gradual" mode is a pretty big change in a way Infer
handles annotations, so we wanted to tests both scenarios: gradual and
non-gradual mode.
The plan was to deprecate "non-gradual" tests at some point, hence we
decided to go with duplication.
Now we have a better approach to ensure "gradual" features are well
covered. The approach is the following.
1. [Mostly finished] Improve existings tests so that they cover negative and positive
cases. With this, we can safely add something like
--non-annotated-default UNKNOWN_NULLABILITY to the test config and be sure tests still make
sense (i.e. don't pass simply because annotations don't make sense
anymore)
2. [In progress]. Refactor nullsafe code so that instead of using of Annot.ml everywhere we use a special abstraction telling if the class is annotated with Nullable, Nonnull, or not annotated. With this change, we essenstially have a single place we need to test, which removes the need to have 2 pair of tests for each feature.
3. [To be done]. Introduce Uknown nullability and add small number of tests specifically
for that feature (together with existing tests).
NOTE: I did not rename `nullsafe-default` back to `nullsafe` to not
pollute blame without need.
