[analyzer] (Urgent!) Add 9.0.0. release notes.

[Szelethus]

Summary

I wanted to do this a lot sooner, but I guess better now than never. Please chip in, I may have missed some important patches (especially osx or CTU ones).

[Szelethus]

Please note that LLVM 9.0.0-final is due on the 28th of August.

"On LLVM's own codebase" :)

@Charusso: I think we need to cherry-pick all of our latest patches to this checker to 9.0 because otherwise it'll be crashing with the isValidBaseClass() assertion.

I approve the patch and i don't see anything obvious that we're missing out (@Szelethus, your GSoC isn't on by default back in 9.0, only in master, right?).

I guess we should really try harder to fill it in with every patch that deserves it.

"of XNU libkern OSObjects", so that it sounded less esoteric :/

There are still a lot of open bugs, so it will probably slip at least a little.

"all of our latest patches" sounds like a lot, so yeah probably too late.

If it's broken, maybe don't point it out in the release notes. Fixes can go in 9.0.1.

Could you please also add:

• Numerous` ASTImporter` related fixes and improvements which increase the stability of CTU.
• CTU is enabled to inline virtual functions too.

Precisely.

*judges everyone who lets any important patch through without adding it to the release notes from now on*

Let's reserve jokes for greater depths within the developer docs :^)

 The Clang Static Analyzer is a source code analysis tool that finds bugs in C, C++, and Objective-C programs.
 It implements *path-sensitive*, *inter-procedural analysis* based on *symbolic execution* technique.
 
 This is the Static Analyzer documentation page.

+  - ``-analyzer-checker-help-alpha``: The list of in-development
+    checkers not yet advised to be turned on.
+
+  - ``-analyzer-checker-help-developer``: Checkers never meant to be

+
+- New frontend flags: While they have always been around, for the first time,
+  checker and package options are listable:
+
+  - ``-analyzer-checker-option-help``: The list of user-facing, stable checker

+
+- New frontend flag: ``-analyzer-werror`` to turn analyzer warnings into errors.

+  unit analysis (CTU).
+
+- CTU now handles virtual functions as well.
