As proposed in D126215 (ffe7950ebc),
I'm dropping the `-analyzer-store` and
`-analyzer-opt-analyze-nested-blocks` clang frontend flags.
I'm also dropping the corresponding commandline handlers of `scanbuild`.
This behavior is planned to be part of `clang-16`.

Add clang-cc option '-analyzer-opt-analyze-nested-blocks' to treat
block literals as an entry point for analyzer checks.

[analyzer] Add blocks and ObjC messages to the call graph.
This paves the road for constructing a better function dependency graph.
If we analyze a function before the functions it calls and inlines,
there is more opportunity for optimization.
Note, we add call edges to the called methods that correspond to
function definitions (declarations with bodies).
Consequently, we should remove this dead flag.
However, this arises a couple of burning questions.
- Should the `cc1` frontend still accept this flag - to keep
tools/users passing this flag directly to `cc1` (which is unsupported,
unadvertised) working.
- If we should remain backward compatible, how long?
- How can we get rid of deprecated and obsolete flags at some point?

I'm trying to remove unused options from the `Analyses.def` file, then
merge the rest of the useful options into the `AnalyzerOptions.def`.
Then make sure one can set these by an `-analyzer-config XXX=YYY` style
flag.
Then surface the `-analyzer-config` to the `clang` frontend;
After all of this, we can pursue the tablegen approach described
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-tablegen-clang-static-analyzer-engine-options-for-better-documentation/61488
In this patch, I'm proposing flag deprecations.
We should support deprecated analyzer flags for exactly one release. In
this case I'm planning to drop this flag in `clang-16`.
In the clang frontend, now we won't pass this option to the cc1
frontend, rather emit a warning diagnostic reminding the users about
this deprecated flag, which will be turned into error in clang-16.
Unfortunately, I had to remove all the tests referring to this flag,
causing a mass change. I've also added a test for checking this warning.
I've seen that `scan-build` also uses this flag, but I think we should
remove that part only after we turn this into a hard error.
