In bf1d27889b583, we started treating the return value of any selector invocation as safe. This isn't quite right since not every return value is autorelease'd. So start treating these as unsafe again for messages sent to an instance but keep treating safe for messages sent to a class since those should always be autorelease'd.
This PR also moves the check from isSafeExpr in local variable and call arguments checkers to tryToFindPtrOrigin so that this semantic change could be more easily implemented. This PR also fixes RawPtrRefCallArgsChecker so that it recognizes alloc-init pattern even if allocWithZone or _init instead of alloc and init was used.
