- Include the position of the argument on which the nullability is violated
- Differentiate between a 'method' and a 'function' in the message wording
- Test for the error message text in the tests
- Fix a bug with setting 'IsDirectDereference' which resulted in regular dereferences assumed to have call context.

There are multiple, common idioms of defensive nil-checks in copy,
mutableCopy, and init methods in ObjC. The analyzer doesn't currently have the
capability to distinguish these idioms from true positives, so suppress all
warnings about returns in those families. This is a pretty blunt suppression
that we should improve later.

A common idiom in Objective-C initializers is for a defensive nil-check on the
result of a call to a super initializer:
if (self = [super init]) {
...
}
return self;
To avoid warning on this idiom, the nullability checker now suppress diagnostics
for returns of nil on syntactic 'return self' even in initializers with non-null
return types.

In r256567 I changed the nullability checker to suppress warnings about returning a null
value from a function/method with a non-null return type when the type of the returned
expression is itself nonnull. This enables the programmer to silence nullability warnings
by casting to _Nonnull:
return (SomeObject * _Nonnull)nil;
Unfortunately, under ObjC automated reference counting, Sema adds implicit casts to
_Nonnull to return expressions of nullable or unspecified types in functions with
non-null function/method return types. With r256567, these casts cause all nullability
warnings for returns of reference-counted types to be suppressed under ARC, leading to
false negatives.
This commit updates the nullability checker to look through implicit casts before
determining the type of the returned expression. It also updates the tests to turn on
ARC for the nullability_nullonly.mm testfile and adds a new testfile to test when ARC
is turned off.

Update NullabilityChecker so that it checks return statements in ObjC methods.
Previously it was returning early because methods do not have a function type.
Also update detection of violated parameter _Nonnull preconditions to handle
ObjC methods.

Prevent the analyzer from warning when a _Nonnnull local variable is implicitly
zero-initialized because of Objective-C automated reference counting. This avoids false
positives in cases where a _Nonnull local variable cannot be initialized with an
initialization expression, such as:
NSString * _Nonnull s; // no-warning
@autoreleasepool {
s = ...;
}
The nullability checker will still warn when a _Nonnull local variable is explicitly
initialized with nil.
This suppression introduces the potential for false negatives if the local variable
is used before it is assigned a _Nonnull value. Based on a discussion with Anna Zaks,
Jordan Rose, and John McCall, I've added a FIXME to treat implicitly zero-initialized
_Nonnull locals as uninitialized in Sema's UninitializedValues analysis to avoid these
false negatives.

The nullability checker currently allows casts to suppress warnings when a nil
literal is passed as an argument to a parameter annotated as _Nonnull:
foo((NSString * _Nonnull)nil); // no-warning
It does so by suppressing the diagnostic when the *type* of the argument expression
is _Nonnull -- even when the symbolic value returned is known to be nil.
This commit updates the nullability checker to similarly honor such casts in the analogous
scenario when nil is returned from a function with a _Nonnull return type:
return (NSString * _Nonnull)nil; // no-warning
This commit also normalizes variable naming between the parameter and return cases and
adds several tests demonstrating the limitations of this suppression mechanism (such as
when nil is cast to _Nonnull and then stored into a local variable without a nullability
qualifier). These tests are marked with FIXMEs.

The nullability checker was not suppressing false positives resulting from
inlined defensive checks when null was bound to a nonnull variable because it
was passing the entire bind statement rather than the value expression to
trackNullOrUndefValue().
This commit changes that checker to synactically match on the bind statement to
extract the value expression so it can be passed to trackNullOrUndefValue().

The analyzer trims unnecessary nodes from the exploded graph before reporting
path diagnostics. However, in some cases it can trim all nodes (including the
error node), leading to an assertion failure (see
https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=24184).
This commit addresses the issue by adding two new APIs to CheckerContext to
explicitly create error nodes. Unless the client provides a custom tag, these
APIs tag the node with the checker's tag -- preventing it from being trimmed.
The generateErrorNode() method creates a sink error node, while
generateNonFatalErrorNode() creates an error node for a path that should
continue being explored.
The intent is that one of these two methods should be used whenever a checker
creates an error node.
This commit updates the checkers to use these APIs. These APIs
(unlike addTransition() and generateSink()) do not take an explicit Pred node.
This is because there are not any error nodes in the checkers that were created
with an explicit different than the default (the CheckerContext's Pred node).
It also changes generateSink() to require state and pred nodes (previously
these were optional) to reduce confusion.
Additionally, there were several cases where checkers did check whether a
generated node could be null; we now explicitly check for null in these places.
This commit also includes a test case written by Ying Yi as part of
http://reviews.llvm.org/D12163 (that patch originally addressed this issue but
was reverted because it introduced false positive regressions).
