Summary:
The Eradicate backend is reporting nullable type errors, that are not always necessarily leading to null pointer exceptions.
For example, the analysis is designed to be consistent with the Java type system and report on the following code:
String foo(boolean test) {
Object object = test ? new Object() : null;
if (test) {
return object.toString(); // the analysis reports here
}
}
even though the code will not crash.
In order to make this aspect clear, this diff renames the warnings `Null Method Call` and `Null Field Access` into `Nullable Dereference`

Summary: Before this diff, the analysis would only lookup the attributes with the classname appearing in the instruction. However, it would fail to find those attributes for inherited and not overridden methods. With this diff, the attributes are now searched recursively in the super classes.

Summary:
Goal of the stack: deprecate the `--analyzer` option in favour of turning
individual features on and off. This option is a mess: some of the options are
now subcommands (compile, capture), others are aliases (infer and checkers),
and they can all be replicated using some straightforward combination of other
options.
This diff: stop using `--analyzer` in tests. It's mostly `checkers` everywhere,
which is already the default. `linters` becomes `--no-capture --linters-only`.
`infer` is supposed to be `checkers` already. `crashcontext` is
`--crashcontext-only`.

Summary: It is common on Android code to recycle the `View` object by nullifying them in the `onDestroy()` or `onDestroyView()` methods. In this case, the outer `Fragment` object structure is preserve while the inner `View` object are set to null for the garbage collect to release the memory. However, if the fields are only set to `null` in the `onDestroy*()` methods, those fields cannot be `null` during the active lifecycle of the `Fragment`, so it is not necessary to annotate those fields with `Nullable`.

Summary:
It's useful to test that the bucket a given error is classified as doesn't
change over time without notice.
This records the bucket for *all* the tests, even though some never produce a
bucket. This is to be on the safe size instead of risking to forget adding the
bucket information when the test changes, or when copy/pasting from a test that
doesn't have buckets to one that does.
The implementation is pretty crude: it greps the beginning of the qualifier
string for a `[bucket]`.

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.

Summary:
This just makes the warnings silent for now. We may improve the analysis to check if the null check on the captured fields are consistent with the annotation on the corresponding parameters.
Eradicate also has the same issue. I added a test to outline this. The biabduction analysis will also probably fail on the same of annotation lookup. We may want implement the proper fix at the level of `Annotation.field_has_annot`.

Summary:
One limitation of Eradicate is that certain nullability patterns are not expressible using simply the `Nullable` annotation.
One such pattern is using the knowledge that a function returns null when passed null, but returns an object otherwise.
The annotation `PropagatesNullable` is a variant of `Nullable` applied to parameters when their value propagates to the return value.
A method annotated
```
B m(PropagatesNullable A x) { return x == null ? x : B(x); }
```
indicates that `m` returns null if `x` is null, or an object of class `B` if the argument is not null.
Examples with multiple parameters are in the test cases.
This diff builds some infrastructure for annotation transformers: the example above represents the identity function on nullability annotations.

Summary:
Eradicate detects circular field initializations (e.g. a field initialized with itself)
by checking in the typestate at the end of the constructor whether the origin
of the field is a field name in the current class.
This has the problem that the following initialization pattern is not recognized as correct:
C(C x) { this.field = x.field }
To fix the issue, the origin information for field accesses x.f is extended
with the origin information of the inner object x.
Circularities are detected if the origin of x is "this".
