Ideally, there is no reason behind not being able to depend on checkers that come from a different plugin (or on builtin checkers) -- however, this is only possible if all checkers are added to the registry before resolving checker dependencies. Since I used a binary search in my addDependency method, this also resulted in an assertion failure (due to CheckerRegistry::Checkers not being sorted), since the function used by plugins to register their checkers (clang_registerCheckers) calls addDependency.
This patch resolves this issue by only noting which dependencies have to established when addDependency is called, and resolves them at a later stage when no more checkers are added to the registry.
