Summary:
The diff is very big but it's mostly removing code. It was inspired by the fact that we were getting Dead Store FPs because we were modeling some functions from CoreFoundation and CoreGraphics directly as alloc in the frontend, which caused the parameters of the function to be seen as dead. See the new test.
To deal with this, if we are going to skip the function, we model it as malloc instead. Given how many models we had for those "model as malloc" functions, I removed them to rely solely on the new mechanism.
The modeling of malloc and release was still based on the old retain count implementation, even though all we do here is a malloc/free kind of analysis. I also changed
that to be actually malloc/free which removed many Assert false in the tests. CFRelease is not exactly free though, and it's possible to use the variable afterwards. So used a custom free builtin that only cares about removing the Memory attribute and focuses on minimizing Memory Leaks FPs.
Otherwise we were translating CFBridgingRelease as a special cast, and this wasn't working. To simplify this as well, I removed all the code for the special cast, and just modeled CFBridgingRelease and CFAutorelease also as free_cf, to avoid Memory Leak false positives. I also treated the cast __bridge_transfer as a free_cf model. This means we stopped trying to report Memory Leaks on those objects.
The modeling of CoreGraph release functions was done in the frontend, but seemed simpler to also simplify that code and model all the relevant functions.
