    Split libAnalysis into two libraries: libAnalysis and libChecker. · 1309f9a3
    Ted Kremenek authored
    (1) libAnalysis is a generic analysis library that can be used by
        Sema.  It defines the CFG, basic dataflow analysis primitives, and
        inexpensive flow-sensitive analyses (e.g. LiveVariables).
    
    (2) libChecker contains the guts of the static analyzer, incuding the
        path-sensitive analysis engine and domain-specific checks.
    
    Now any clients that want to use the frontend to build their own tools
    don't need to link in the entire static analyzer.
    
    This change exposes various obvious cleanups that can be made to the
    layout of files and headers in libChecker.  More changes pending.  :)
    
    This change also exposed a layering violation between AnalysisContext
    and MemRegion.  BlockInvocationContext shouldn't explicitly know about
    BlockDataRegions.  For now I've removed the BlockDataRegion* from
    BlockInvocationContext (removing context-sensitivity; although this
    wasn't used yet).  We need to have a better way to extend
    BlockInvocationContext (and any LocationContext) to add
    context-sensitivty.
