Summary:
**Existing heuristic**: If we have a call `foo(n)` that has no model and summary for `foo`, we underestimate its cost as constant[1].
However, if we have a model for `foo` (e.g.with modeled cost O(n)) but applying the model to arguments causes the cost to be Top (e.g if `n` has Top size), then we could have Top-poisoning where all the callers up the call chain will have Top costs [2].
To prevent these unintended Top-poisioning when adding models, this diff applies *the same heuristic* to modeled calls with Top cost and gives them constant cost. This way, when adding models, we wouldn't be introducing more Tops than if we were to have no models in the first place.
[1] This is problematic in itself and causes many FPs at diff time, but otherwise we would be getting Tops everywhere and would not be able to give any meaningful cost. E.g. for fblite, if we were to give unknown calls Top cost, #procedures with Top cost increases form 5% to 38% and #procedures with linear cost reduces by 99.75%.
[2] This was observed for `containsValue` for Instagram where %Tops increased by 88% :(

Summary:
This diff revises the translation of message expression's arguments in ObjC frontend. In the
frontend, it massages the arguments when calling a static method, so the class or object value is
not given to the static method as the first parameter.
The problem is that it used a raise-exception-and-catch way to detect where we remove the first
parameter. This way of using an exception is not only hard to understand, but also incorrectly
removed the first parameter, with breaking abstract semantics sometimes. (See the added test.) This diff
avoids using the exception.

Summary:
This diff revises memory model of enumerator in ObjC to enable passing it as a parameter.
The cost checker was not able to analyze a function precisely when it gets an enumerator as a
parameter because the offset of an enumerator was available only when the analyzer knew the correct
relation between the enumerator and an array.
This diff simplifies the enumerator to have a similar value with `array->elements`, so its offset can
be taken without the relation between enumerator and array to get them.

Summary:
This diff adds a model for NSFileManager.contentsOfDirectoryAtURL as returning a constant-length
collection.
The analyzer cannot know files in a directory. We have some options to handle such unknown data.
1. Use `Unknown` value, ie `top`
2. Use a symbolic value
3. Use a constant value
We had been used the first option. An upside of this is that the analyzer can remain as sound.
However, a downside of this is the top value can be propagated to other procedures, making their
costs top, thus we may miss some cost changes of them.
The second option is to introduce a symbolic value, ie. that for the number of files. A problem is
that the symbolic value will never be concretized. As a result, the symbol can be propagated to
other procedures, increasing the coefficient of the complexity or making top costs. Note that handling multiple
symbols is somewhat limited in Inferbo's interval domain.
The last option is to introduce a constant value. I think this is the best approach we can take among above.
Even though we may have FNs when there are a lot of files in a directory, we cannot reason or expect about
that at the analysis time anyway.

Summary:
Two issues are fixed
1. For this diff, when the condition `curr_langauge_is Java` is removed in some part of the analysis, some c bufferoverrun tests are broken. This is fixed in this diff by inspecting if we are dealing with a `Size` alias referring to an `objc_internal_collection_array`.
2. Previously, when we are modifying mutable array in a loop, e.g. adding element to the array or removing element from the array, we are unable to give an estimable size of the array after exiting the loop. This is now fixed, and the corresponding FPs are resolved.

Original comments from skcho
"For the record:
1. Rory and I tried to write models for ObjC iterator.
2. We could not use Java's iterator semantics: In Java's, `hasNext` returns the size of collection, rather than a boolean, and which is used as a control variable. On the other hand, in ObjC, it calls only `nextObject`, not calling `hasNext`, and the return value of which is being checked as `null`.
3. We added an artificial field `objc_iterator_offset` to keep the index of the iterator, and the models added in this diff are handling that integer value.
A problem is that `array.objc_iterator_offset` is not included in the control variables, since the condition of the loop is `nextObject() != null` that does not include the iterator offset. We need to make `array.objc_iterator_offset` as a control variable, by changing the part collecting control variables.

For documentation of ```NSArray```, https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/nsarray?language=objc
For documentation of ```NSMutableArray```, https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/nsmutablearray?language=objc
The underlying mechanism for ```NSMutableArray``` is quite complicated. It changes the underlying data structure during runtime, so it is possible to have say O(log n) complexity for accessing element in array. (See here https://opensource.apple.com/source/CF/CF-855.11/CFArray.h) However, this is unlikely to happen if the engineer does not abuse the usage of the class ```NSMutableArray``` according to at least two ios engineers. So here the complexity is set to match the normal expectation of the complexity.

- introduce a generic issue type `X_TIME_COMPLEXITY_INCREASE` where `X` can be one of the cost kinds. If the function is on the cold start, issue can have the `COLD_START` suffix. Similarly for infinite/zero/expensive calls.
- Change `PERFORMANCE_VARIATION` -> `EXECUTION_TIME_COMPLEXITY_INCREASE`
- Add new issue type for `ALLOCATION_COMPLEXITY_INCREASE_COLD_START` which will be enabled by default
- Refactor cost issues to be more modular and succinct. This also makes addition of a new cost kind very easy by adding the kind into the `enabled_cost_kinds` list in `CostKind.ml`
