[PATCH] [StaticAnalyzer] Add 'clang_analyzer_warnIfReached'

While working on unit tests for a checker, I really wanted a facility to detect that the analyzer has (or has not) made certain branch choices. 

Looking through the unit test, this kind of check is done in various ways:
* Intentional deref of null pointer (the most popular, apparently)
* Intentional divide by zero (tests in "cast.c")
* "clang_analyzer_eval(true); // expected-warning{{TRUE}}"

Adding a new directive to explicitly serve this purpose helps the readability of unit tests. As proof of concept, I've modified an existing test to remove the fake null-pointer derefs.

Unit tests continue to pass. The direct patch to the analyzer is very minimal.
