Summary:
Instead of emitting an ad-hoc builtin on variable declaration emit a new
metadata instruction. This allows us to remove the code matching on that
ad-hoc builtin that had to be inserted in several checkers.
Inferbo & pulse used that information meaningfully and had to undergo
some minor changes to cope with the new metada instruction.

Summary:
When initialising a variable via semi-exotic means, the frontend loses
the information that the variable was initialised. For instance, it
translates:
```
struct Foo { int i; };
...
Foo s = {42};
```
as:
```
s.i := 42
```
This can be confusing for backends that need to know that `s` actually
got initialised, eg pulse.
The solution implemented here is to insert of dummy call to
`__variable_initiazition`:
```
__variable_initialization(&s);
s.i := 42;
```
Then checkers can recognise that this builtin function does what its
name says.

Summary: Returning the list of sub-expressions is not right and can cause assertion failures elsewhere in the frontend.

Summary:
The diff is very big but it's mostly removing code. It was inspired by the fact that we were getting Dead Store FPs because we were modeling some functions from CoreFoundation and CoreGraphics directly as alloc in the frontend, which caused the parameters of the function to be seen as dead. See the new test.
To deal with this, if we are going to skip the function, we model it as malloc instead. Given how many models we had for those "model as malloc" functions, I removed them to rely solely on the new mechanism.
The modeling of malloc and release was still based on the old retain count implementation, even though all we do here is a malloc/free kind of analysis. I also changed
that to be actually malloc/free which removed many Assert false in the tests. CFRelease is not exactly free though, and it's possible to use the variable afterwards. So used a custom free builtin that only cares about removing the Memory attribute and focuses on minimizing Memory Leaks FPs.
Otherwise we were translating CFBridgingRelease as a special cast, and this wasn't working. To simplify this as well, I removed all the code for the special cast, and just modeled CFBridgingRelease and CFAutorelease also as free_cf, to avoid Memory Leak false positives. I also treated the cast __bridge_transfer as a free_cf model. This means we stopped trying to report Memory Leaks on those objects.
The modeling of CoreGraph release functions was done in the frontend, but seemed simpler to also simplify that code and model all the relevant functions.

Summary:
We supported globals as sources before, but we did so by allowing ClangTrace etc. to match against any access path in the footprint of the trace.
This is very powerful/flexible, but it's ultimately not a good idea because it leads to traces that are hard to read.
This is because a footprint source doesn't have any information about its provenance: we might know that the value came from a global, but we don't know where the read occurred.
The mechanism for handling procedure calls as sources already knows how to solve this problem.
This diff implements globals as sources as a special case of procedure call sources instead.
This will give us much nicer traces with full provenance of the read from the global.

Menu:
1. Write a jbuild file, autogenerated from jbuild.in because we need to fill in
some information at build-time (really, at configure time, but TODO), such as
whether or not clang is enabled.
2. Nuke lots of stuff from infer/src/Makefile that is now in the jbuild file
3. The jbuild file lives in infer/src/ so it can see all the sources. If we put it somewhere else, eg, infer/, then `jbuilder` scans too many files (all irrelevant) and takes 2.5s to start instead of .8s. Adding irrelevant directories to jbuild-ignore does not help.
4. jbuilder does not support subdirectories, so resort to listing all the
source files in the generated jbuild (only source directories need to be
manually listed in jbuild.in though). Still, the generated .merlin is wrong
and makes merlin find source files in _build, so manually tune it to get
good merlin support. We also lose some of merlin for unit tests as it
cannot see their build artefacts anymore.
5. checkCopyright gets its own jbuild because it's standalone. Also, remove
some deprecation warnings in checkCopyright due to the new version of Core from
a while ago.
6. Drop less-used Makefile features (they had regressed anyway) such as
building individual modules. Also, building mod_dep.pdf now takes all the
source files available so they better build (before, it would only take the
source files from the config, eg with or without clang) (that's pretty minor).
7. The toplevel is now built as a custom toplevel because that was easier. It
should soon be even easier: https://github.com/janestreet/jbuilder/issues/210
8. Move BUILTINS.mli to BUILTINS.ml because jbuilder is not happy about
interface files without implementations.
In particular, I did not try to migrate too much of the Makefile logic to jbuilder,
more can be done in the future.
