A checker can register as receiver/listener of "events" (basically it registers a callback
with a function getting called with an argument of the event type) and other checkers can
register as "dispatchers" and can pass an event object to all the listeners.
This allows cooperation amongst checkers but with very loose coupling.

-Checkers will be defined in the tablegen file 'Checkers.td'.
-Apart from checkers, we can define checker "packages" that will contain a collection of checkers.
-Checkers can be enabled with -analyzer-checker=<name> and disabled with -analyzer-disable-checker=<name> e.g:
Enable checkers from 'cocoa' and 'corefoundation' packages except the self-initialization checker:
-analyzer-checker=cocoa -analyzer-checker=corefoundation -analyzer-disable-checker=cocoa.SelfInit
-Introduces CheckerManager and CheckerProvider. CheckerProviders get the set of checker names to enable/disable and
register them with the CheckerManager which will be the entry point for all checker-related functionality.
Currently only the self-initialization checker takes advantage of the new mechanism.
