The previous behavior was to deduplicate reports based on md5 of the
html file. This algorithm might have worked originally but right now
HTML reports contain information rich enough to make them virtually
always distinct which breaks deduplication entirely.
The new strategy is to (finally) take advantage of IssueHash - the
stable report identifier provided by clang that is the same if and only if
the reports are duplicates of each other.
Additionally, scan-build no longer performs deduplication on its own.
Instead, the report file name is now based on the issue hash,
and clang instances will silently refuse to produce a new html file
when a duplicate already exists. This eliminates the problem entirely.
The '-analyzer-config stable-report-filename' option is deprecated
because report filenames are no longer unstable. A new option is
introduced, '-analyzer-config verbose-report-filename', to produce
verbose file names that look similar to the old "stable" file names.
The old option acts as an alias to the new option.

The tool is now looked for in the source directory rather than in the
install directory, which should exclude the problems with not being able
to find it.
The tests still aren't being run on Windows, but they hopefully will run
on other platforms that have shell, which hopefully also means Perl.

The static analyzer's scan-build script is critical infrastructure but
is not well tested. To start to address this, add a new test directory under
tests/Analysis for scan-build lit tests and seed it with several tests. The
goal is that future scan-build changes will be accompanied by corresponding
tests.
