Summary:
Our default strategy for handling unknown code is to propagate taint from the actuals to the return value.
But for commonly-used methods like `StringBuilder.append` (used every time you do `+` with a string in Java), this doesn't work.
The taint should be propagated to both the receiver and the return value in these cases.
I'm considering a solution where we always propagate taint to the receiver of unknown functions in the future, but I am concerned about the performance.
So let's stick with a few special string cases for now.

Summary:
this makes frontends no longer depend on SymExec.ml. `ModelBuiltins` was split into two modules:
- `BuiltinDecl` with procnames for builtins (used to determine whether some function is a builtin)
- `BuiltinDefn` with implementations used by `SymExec`
- they both have similar type defined in `BUILTINS.S` which makes sure that new builtin gets added into both modules.
During the refactor I ran some scripts:
`BuiltinDecl.ml`:
let X = create_procname "X"
cat BuiltinDecl.ml | grep "create_procname" | tail -70 | awk ' { print $1,$2,$3,$4,"\42"$2"\42"} '
then manually confirm string match. Exceptions:
"__exit" -> "_exit"
"objc_cpp_throw" -> "__infer_objc_cpp_throw"
__objc_dictionary_literal
nsArray_arrayWithObjects
nsArray_arrayWithObjectsCount
`BuiltinDefn.ml`:
let X = Builtin.register BuiltinDecl.X execute_X
cat BuiltinDecl.ml | grep "create_procname" | tail -70 | awk ' { print $1,$2,$3,"Builtin.register BuiltinDecl."$2,"execute_"$2} '
then, fix all compilation problems

Summary:
Right now, taint gets lost if it flows into a constructor or procedure whose implementation is missing.
Since the core Java (e.g., String) and Android classes (e.g, Intent) are among these, this is bad.
We could handle this by writing a bunch of models instead, but that would be a lot of work (plus we may still miss cases).
