ObjC token annotations

[Argyrios Kyrtzidis]

We should mark it as CXToken_Keyword, as we do with other context-sensitive keywords (see at end of clang_annotateTokensImpl); please file a bug report.

As such, there's no useful Expr that can be attached to it. I would guess libclang picks the ObjCMessageExpr as the "best" context and leaves it at that.

>> So, "inst" in the first expression is a DeclRefExpr, just like "self" in the second one. However, "super" in the last expression is annotated with "ObjCMessageExpr=a"... Is that on purpose, and if so, what is the reasoning behind it?
