Summary:
When garbage-collecting addresses we would also remove their attributes.
But even though the addresses are no longer allocated in the heap, they
might show up in the formula and so we need to remember facts about
them.
This forces us to detect leaks closer to the point where addresses are
deleted from the heap, in AbductiveDomain.ml. This is a nice refactoring
in itself: doing so fixes some other FNs where we sometimes missed leak
detection on dead addresses.
This also makes it unecessary to simplify InstanceOf eagerly when
variables get out of scope.
Some new {folly,std}::optionals false positives that either are similar to existing ones or involve unmodelled smart pointers.

Summary:
The eventual goal is to stop having separate sections of the trace
("invalidation part" + "access part") when the "access part" already
goes through the invalidation step. For this, it needs to record when a
value is made invalid along the path.
This is also important for assignements to NULL/0/nullptr/nil: right now
the way we record that 0 is not a valid address is via an attribute
attached to the abstract value that corresponds to 0. This makes traces
inconsistent sometimes: 0 can appear in many places in the same function
and we won't necessarily pick the correct one. In other words, attaching
traces to *values* is fragile, as the same value can be produced in many
ways. On the other hand, histories are stored at the point of access, eg
x->f, so have a much better chance of being correct. See added test:
right now its traces is completely wrong and makes the 0 in `if
(utf16StringLen == 0)` the source of the NULL value instead of the
return of `malloc()`!
This diff makes the traces slightly more verbose for now but this is
fixed in a following diff as the traces that got longer are those that
don't actually need an "invalidation" trace.

Summary:
This models ARC implementation of dealloc, see https://clang.llvm.org/docs/AutomaticReferenceCounting.html#dealloc. Dealloc methods can be added to ObjC classes to free C memory for example, but the deallocation of the ObjC instance variables of the object is done automatically. So here we add this explicitly to Infer:
1. First, we add an empty dealloc method when it is not written explicitly.
2. For each dealloc method (including the implicitly added ones) we add calls to dealloc of the ObjC instance variables.

fbshipit-source-id: f5d4930f2
Summary:
This diff implements part of the memory management for Objective-C classes in ARC, namely that `dealloc` is called when the objects become unreachable. In reality the semantics of ARC says that this happens when their reference count becomes 0, but we are not modelling this yet in Pulse. However, we could in the future.
This fixes false positives memory leaks when the memory is freed in dealloc.
`dealloc` is often implicit in Objective-C, it also calls the dealloc of instance variables and superclass. None of this is implemented yet, and will be done in a future diff. This will be added in the frontend probably, similarly to how it's done for C++ destructors.
This is an important part of modelling Objective-C semantics in Infer, I looked at whether this should be a preanalysis to be used by all analyses but this needs Pulse. So the idea is that any analysis that needs to understand Objective-C memory model well, should have Pulse as a preanalysis.

The main issue was that `Procname.to_simplified_string` was writing `Classname::methodname` for ObjC methods, which is not the convention. This confused the `hashable_name` funtion. So changing the method name to `Classname.methodname` which is more standard, and this also fixes `hashable_name`.

Just like `CFBridgingRelease` we want to be able to model functions that are specific to a given codebase that make a transfer of memory ownership so that developers don't need to worry about releasing that memory anymore, and hence, we don't want to report leaks on that memory.
Things get a little more complicated, because some of the functions we want to model are in a specific namespace, so with this flag we take both cases into account, when we are dealing with namespaces or not.

Summary:
Because in the real semantics CFRelease can be used more than once, and also the variables can be used after CFRelease in general, modelling this as `free` causes many `USE_AFTER_FREE` errors. Now we change the model to not add the `Invalid CFree` attribute, but to just remove the `Allocated` attribute. So we can model memory leaks in the simple case of `Create` and not `CFRelease` before going out of scope, but we avoid the `USE_AFTER_FREE`.
Since the model for CFRelease now diverges from free, changed the command line option for modelling to `pulse-model-release-pattern`.

Summary:
This translates the construct `ObjCBridgedCastExpr` when the cast_kind is `OBC_BridgeTransfer`, or in syntax, the cast (`__bridge_transfer`).
This cast means that the object is passed from manual memory management to ARC, so one doesn't need to call `release` manually. It is important to model this to avoid false positives.
It translates it as a builtin that we then model in Pulse, the same way we modelled `CFBridgingRelease` which does the same thing.
The name of the builtin is `__free_cf` which is not ideal but I left it like that for compatibility with biabduction. We can change it once we remove this check from biabduction.

Summary:
bigmacro_bender
There are 3 ways pulse tracks history. This is at least one too many. So
far, we have:
1. "histories": a humble list of "events" like "assigned here", "returned from call", ...
2. "interproc actions": a structured nesting of calls with a final "action", eg "f calls g calls h which does blah"
3. "traces", which combine one history with one interproc action
This diff gets rid of interproc actions and makes histories include
"nested" callee histories too. This allows pulse to track and display
how a value got assigned across function calls.
Traces are now more powerful and interleave histories and interproc
actions. This allows pulse to track how a value is fed into an action,
for instance performed in callee, which itself creates some more
(potentially now interprocedural) history before going to the next step
of the action (either another call or the action itself).
This gives much better traces, and some examples are added to showcase
this.
There are a lot of changes when applying summaries to keep track of
histories more accurately than was done before, but also a few
simplifications that give additional evidence that this is the right
concept.
