[analyzer] Add checker modeling potential C++ self-assignment

This checker checks copy and move assignment operators whether they are
protected against self-assignment. Since C++ core guidelines discourages
explicit checking for `&rhs==this` in general we take a different approach: in
top-frame analysis we branch the exploded graph for two cases, where &rhs==this
and &rhs!=this and let existing checkers (e.g. unix.Malloc) do the rest of the
work. It is important that we check all copy and move assignment operator in top
frame even if we checked them already since self-assignments may happen
undetected even in the same translation unit (e.g. using random indices for an
array what may or may not be the same).

This reapplies r275820 after fixing a string-lifetime issue discovered by the
bots.
