[PATCH] Include checker name in Static Analyzer PLIST output

[Gábor Horváth]

Hi Anna,

I was working on tools, that made it more user friendly to use the static
analyzer. One of the features was to mark what are the reports that are new
in a revision. To identify reports, we calculated a hash of the environment
of the final position of the report and the name of the checker. We found
it to be more robust to use the checker names, for that reason, because
they are less likely to change. (Changing either type or category would
mean that all of the hashes would change for that checker and our tool
would report all of its output as new.) We also stored the reports in a
database, and the name of the checker was a natural filtering/sorting
option.

Regards,
Gábor
