Summary: We do not use an arbitrary threshold to test cost results anymore but instead rely on `cost-issues` which do not have any trace attached. This diff adds traces to `costs-report.json` so that we can test cost issues with traces.

Summary:
Now that we have a way to write cost issues, let's not rely on some arbitrary threshold (and also get rid of `EXPENSIVE_EXECUTION_TIME` issues in tests).
One consequence of this is that we will loose the cost traces in tests since `costs-report.json` doesn't have any traces. Next diff fixes that.

Summary:
In order to test cost analysis results, currently we rely on having an arbitrary cost threshold (200) and report issues that exceed this cost. For instance, a cost of 201 is considered expensive and reported as `EXPENSIVE_EXECUTION_TIME` issue in cost tests.
This means, if we change the cost analysis in a slight way that results in some constant cost increase under 200, we wouldn't able to detect it. I find this unsatisfactory and somewhat hacky.
This diff adds the ability to write the result of `costs-report.json` into a separate `cost-issues.exp` and then compare the actual costs (not only than relying on this arbitrary threshold reporting mechanism).

Summary:
The directory names had some interesting variety due to historical
reasons.
- {c,cpp,objc,objcpp}/errors/ date from the time when infer was only
biabduction
- java/infer/ dates from the time when we had an "--analyzer" option and
"infer" was one of them (sic), and eg another was "eradicate".
- c/biabduction/ dates from the time when the biabduction analysis was
being migrated to the "checkers" (AI) framework. For some reasons the
tests there are not a subset of c/infer/ but seem to be entirely new
tests.
The convention now dictates that we should name all of these
*/biabduction/. This diff moves the existing tests from c/biabduction/
into c/biabduction/misc/.

Summary:
The issue type `ZERO_EXECUTION_TIME` actually corresponds to bottom state but has been mistakenly used to mean
- unreachable nodes (program never reaching exit state)
- having zero cost (e.g. for allocations).
Note that, for execution costs, the latter doesn't make sense since we always incur a unit cost for the start node. Hence, a function with empty body will have unit cost. For allocations or IO however, we only incur costs for specific primitives, so a function with no allocations/IO could have a zero cost. However, there is no point reporting functions with zero cost as a specific issue type. Instead, what we want to track is the former, i.e. functions whose cost becomes 0 due to program never reaching exit state.
This diff aims to split these cases into two by only reporting on the latter and adds traces to bottom/unreachable cost by creating a special category in polynomials.
Next diff will rename `ZERO_XXX` to `XXX_UNREACHABLE_AT_EXIT`.

Summary:
This diff tries to make less imprecise division by constants results.
For example, the results of the division `[l, u] / c`, where `c` is a positive constant, are:
1. If `l/c` or `u/c` is representable in the bound domain, it uses the precise bounds, i.e., `[l/c, u/c]`.
2. If it is not representable, it tries to make conservative results:
if `0<=l<=u`, it returns `[0, u]` because `0 <= [l/c, u/c] <= u`
if `l<=u<=0`, it returns `[l, 0]` because `l <= [l/c, u/c] <= 0`
if `l<=0<=u`, it returns `[l, u]` because `l <= [l/c, u/c] <= u`
3. otherwise, it returns top, `[-oo, +oo]`

Summary:
- Add allocation costs to `costs-report.json` and enable diffing over allocation costs.
- Also, let's be more consistent and modular in naming our cost issues.
- 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`

Summary:
For abstract values representing one concrete value, create only one symbol instead of two.
Still create two symbols (lb, ub) for abstract values representing multiple concrete values (like array cells).
As a consequence, comparisons of symbolic values are more precise (we can even prove equality). I expect to remove a bunch of FPs.
Another consequence is the disappearance of `.lb` and `.ub` in many reports.

Summary:
It materializes symbolic values of function parameters on-demand. The on-demand materialization is triggered when finding a value from an abstract memory and joining/widening abstract memories.
Depends on D13294630
Main idea:
* Symbolic values are on-demand-ly generated by a symbol path and its type
* In order to avoid infinite generation of symbolic values, symbol paths are canonicalized by structure types and field names (which means they are abstracted to the same value). For example, in a linked list, a symbolic value `x->next->next` is canonicalized to `x->next` when the structures (`*x` and `*x->next`) have the same structure type and the same field name (`next`).
Changes from the previous code:
* `Symbol.t` does not include `id` and `pname` for distinguishing symbols. Now, all symbols are compared by `path:SymbolPath.partial` and `bound_end`.
* `SymbolTable` is no longer used, which was used for generating symbolic values with new `id`s.

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:
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`.
