A clang user pointed out that messages for the static analyzer undefined
assignment checker use the term ‘garbage’, which might have a negative
connotation to some users. This change updates the messages to use the
term ‘uninitialized’. This is the usual reason why a value is undefined
in the static analyzer and describes the logical error that a programmer
should take action to fix.
Out-of-bounds reads can also produce undefined values in the static
analyzer. The right long-term design is to have to the array bounds
checker cover out-of-bounds reads, so we do not cover that case in the
updated messages. The recent improvements to the array bounds checker
make it a candidate to add to the core set of checkers.

This adds a warning when applying the `pure` attribute along with the `const` attribute, or when applying the `pure` attribute to a function with a `void` return type (including constructors and destructors).

We have a new policy in place making links to private resources
something we try to avoid in source and test files. Normally, we'd
organically switch to the new policy rather than make a sweeping change
across a project. However, Clang is in a somewhat special circumstance
currently: recently, I've had several new contributors run into rdar
links around test code which their patch was changing the behavior of.
This turns out to be a surprisingly bad experience, especially for
newer folks, for a handful of reasons: not understanding what the link
is and feeling intimidated by it, wondering whether their changes are
actually breaking something important to a downstream in some way,
having to hunt down strangers not involved with the patch to impose on
them for help, accidental pressure from asking for potentially private
IP to be made public, etc. Because folks run into these links entirely
by chance (through fixing bugs or working on new features), there's not
really a set of problematic links to focus on -- all of the links have
basically the same potential for causing these problems. As a result,
this is an omnibus patch to remove all such links.
This was not a mechanical change; it was done by manually searching for
rdar, radar, radr, and other variants to find all the various
problematic links. From there, I tried to retain or reword the
surrounding comments so that we would lose as little context as
possible. However, because most links were just a plain link with no
supporting context, the majority of the changes are simple removals.

When a function takes the address of a field the analyzer will no longer
assume that the function will change other fields of the enclosing structs.

If an address of a field is passed through a const pointer,
the whole structure's base region should receive the
TK_PreserveContents trait and avoid invalidation.
Additionally, include a few FIXME tests shown up during testing.

This applies to __attribute__((pure)) as well, but 'const' is more interesting
because many of our builtins are marked 'const'.

In this case, the value of 'x' may be changed after the call to indirectAccess:
struct Wrapper {
int *ptr;
};
void indirectAccess(const Wrapper &w);
void test() {
int x = 42;
Wrapper w = { x };
clang_analyzer_eval(x == 42); // TRUE
indirectAccess(w);
clang_analyzer_eval(x == 42); // UNKNOWN
}
This is important for modelling return-by-value objects in C++, to show
that the contents of the struct are escaping in the return copy-constructor.
