Balazs Benics 07b4a6d046 [analyzer] Deprecate the unused 'analyzer-opt-analyze-nested-blocks' cc1 flag
This flag was introduced by

    commit 6818991d7165f68fe196922d9e5c6648dd57cc47

  Add clang-cc option '-analyzer-opt-analyze-nested-blocks' to treat
  block literals as an entry point for analyzer checks.

The last reference was removed by this commit:

  [analyzer] Add blocks and ObjC messages to the call graph.
  This paves the road for constructing a better function dependency graph.
  If we analyze a function before the functions it calls and inlines,
  there is more opportunity for optimization.
  Note, we add call edges to the called methods that correspond to
  function definitions (declarations with bodies).

Consequently, we should remove this dead flag.
However, this arises a couple of burning questions.
 - Should the `cc1` frontend still accept this flag - to keep
   tools/users passing this flag directly to `cc1` (which is unsupported,
   unadvertised) working.
 - If we should remain backward compatible, how long?
 - How can we get rid of deprecated and obsolete flags at some point?

// C Language Family Front-end
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Welcome to Clang.  This is a compiler front-end for the C family of languages
(C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++) which is built as part of the LLVM
compiler infrastructure project.

Unlike many other compiler frontends, Clang is useful for a number of things
beyond just compiling code: we intend for Clang to be host to a number of
different source-level tools.  One example of this is the Clang Static Analyzer.

If you're interested in more (including how to build Clang) it is best to read
the relevant web sites.  Here are some pointers:
