Log:
[analyzer] RetainCount: Ignore annotations on user-made CFRetain wrappers.

It is not uncommon for the users to make their own wrappers around
CoreFoundation's CFRetain and CFRelease functions that are defensive
against null references. In such cases CFRetain is often incorrectly
marked as CF_RETURNS_RETAINED. Ignore said annotation and treat such
wrappers similarly to the regular CFRetain.
