Fix some false negatives of StackAddrEscapeChecker:
- Output parameters
```
void top(int **out) {
int local = 42;
*out = &local; // Noncompliant
}
```
- Indirect global pointers
```
int **global;
void top() {
int local = 42;
*global = &local; // Noncompliant
}
```
Note that now StackAddrEscapeChecker produces a diagnostic if a function
with an output parameter is analyzed as top-level or as a callee. I took
special care to make sure the reports point to the same primary location
and, in many cases, feature the same primary message. That is the
motivation to modify Core/BugReporter.cpp and Core/ExplodedGraph.cpp
To avoid false positive reports when a global indirect pointer is
assigned a local address, invalidated, and then reset, I rely on the
fact that the invalidation symbol will be a DerivedSymbol of a
ConjuredSymbol that refers to the same memory region.
The checker still has a false negative for non-trivial escaping via a
returned value. It requires a more sophisticated traversal akin to
scanReachableSymbols, which out of the scope of this change.

without prototypes. This patch converts the function signatures to have
a prototype for the situations where the test is not specific to K&R C
declarations. e.g.,
void func();
becomes
void func(void);
This is the ninth batch of tests being updated (there are a
significant number of other tests left to be updated).
Not only global variables can hold references to dead stack variables.
Consider this example:
void write_stack_address_to(char **q) {
char local;
*q = &local;
}
void test_stack() {
char *p;
write_stack_address_to(&p);
}
The address of 'local' is assigned to 'p', which becomes a dangling
pointer after 'write_stack_address_to()' returns.
The StackAddrEscapeChecker was looking for bindings in the store which
referred to variables of the popped stack frame, but it only considered
global variables in this regard. This patch relaxes this, catching
stack variable bindings as well.
---
This patch also works for temporary objects like:
struct Bar {
const int &ref;
explicit Bar(int y) : ref(y) {
// Okay.
} // End of the constructor call, `ref` is dangling now. Warning!
};
void test() {
Bar{33}; // Temporary object, so the corresponding memregion is
// *not* a VarRegion.
}
---
The return value optimization aka. copy-elision might kick in but that
is modeled by passing an imaginary CXXThisRegion which refers to the
parent stack frame which is supposed to be the 'return slot'.
Objects residing in the 'return slot' outlive the scope of the inner
call, thus we should expect no warning about them - except if we
explicitly disable copy-elision.

Summary:
It allows discriminating between stack frames of the same call that is
called multiple times in a loop.
Thanks to Artem Dergachev for the great idea!

It's an old bug that consists in stale references to symbols remaining in the
GDM if they disappear from other program state sections as a result of any
operation that isn't the actual dead symbol collection. The most common example
here is:
FILE *fp = fopen("myfile.txt", "w");
fp = 0; // leak of file descriptor
In this example the leak were not detected previously because the symbol
disappears from the public part of the program state due to evaluating
the assignment. For that reason the checker never receives a notification
that the symbol is dead, and never reports a leak.
This patch not only causes leak false negatives, but also a number of other
problems, including false positives on some checkers.
What's worse, even though the program state contains a finite number of symbols,
the set of symbols that dies is potentially infinite. This means that is
impossible to compute the set of all dead symbols to pass off to the checkers
for cleaning up their part of the GDM.
No longer compute the dead set at all. Disallow iterating over dead symbols.
Disallow querying if any symbols are dead. Remove the API for marking symbols
as dead, as it is no longer necessary. Update checkers accordingly.
