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:
Previously, we recorded direct sinks as sinks and transitive sinks as passthroughs. This makes it difficult to create an expanded interprocedural trace when recording an error because we can't distinguish between sinks (which we want to expand) and passthroughs (which we don't). This diff changes recording of sinks so that a sink is now the *last* function in a trace to call a sink. To find out what the original sink was, the summary for the transitive sink in the trace will now need to be (recursively) expanded until we bottom out in the original sink.
Will do the same for sources in a follow-up diff.

Summary:
Needed to support upcoming diff(s) that change the nature of sources/sinks in a trace. Today they are the *original* source/sink, but in the future they will be the *transitive* source/sink (last procedure to return a source/call a sink).
This new convention will make the `returnAllSources`/`callAllSinks` form of these tests not so useful, since `returnAllSources`/`callAllSinks` will now show up as a single source/sink in the trace (at least without expanding the trace). By making these tests intraprocedural, we can make sure that we're still testing everything that we want to.

Summary:
This diff revises the makefiles for java tests so that they are based on
the files actually produced and depended on, instead of the existing
imperative style. This is, I think, clearer and easier to modify, and
enables a little more parallelism.

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).

Summary:
Before, if I wrote code like
```
x = src()
sink(x)
sink(x)
```
we would report three times instead of two.
The first flow would be double-reported.

Summary:
We were previously leaking the passthroughs of the callee into the caller.
We definitely don't want to do this since it could make the summaries higher up in the call stack explode.
If we need to know the passthroughs of a callee, we can always read them from the callee's summary.
