[cfe-dev] [analyzer] Retrieving macro expansions in the plist output

[Artem Dergachev via cfe-dev]

I mean, not macros but the information on which macros are of interest 
to the user.

You know which lines of code were executed, so you can figure out which 
macros the user may want to look into.

The downside is that it's a bit counter-intuitive for the user, i.e. 
it'll be unobvious why some macros are expanded and others are not.
