Before this patch, FieldChainInfo used a spaghetti: it took care of way too many cases,
even though it was always meant as a lightweight wrapper around
ImmutableList<const FieldRegion *>.
This problem is solved by introducing a lightweight polymorphic wrapper around const
FieldRegion *, FieldNode. It is an interface that abstracts away special cases like
pointers/references, objects that need to be casted to another type for a proper note
messages.
Changes to FieldChainInfo:
* Now wraps ImmutableList<const FieldNode &>.
* Any pointer/reference related fields and methods were removed
* Got a new add method. This replaces it's former constructors as a way to create a
new FieldChainInfo objects with a new element.
Changes to FindUninitializedField:
* In order not to deal with dynamic memory management, when an uninitialized field is
found, the note message for it is constructed and is stored instead of a
FieldChainInfo object. (see doc around addFieldToUninits).
Some of the test files are changed too, from now on uninitialized pointees of references
always print "uninitialized pointee" instead of "uninitialized field" (which should've
really been like this from the beginning).
I also updated every comment according to these changes.

As of now, all constructor calls are ignored that are being called
by a constructor. The point of this was not to analyze the fields
of an object, so an uninitialized field wouldn't be reported
multiple times.
This however introduced false negatives when the two constructors
were in no relation to one another -- see the test file for a neat
example for this with singletons. This patch aims so fix this issue.

Even for a checker being in alpha, some reports about pointees held so little
value to the user that it's safer to disable pointer/reference chasing for now.
It can be enabled with a new flag, in which case checker should function as it
has always been. This can be set with `CheckPointeeInitialization`.

This checker analyzes C++ constructor calls, and reports uninitialized fields.
Due to the nature of this problem (uninitialized fields after an object
construction), this checker doesn't search for bugs, but rather is a tool to
enforce a specific programming model where every field needs to be initialized.
This checker lands in alpha for now, and a number of followup patches will be
made to reduce false negatives and to make it easier for the user to understand
what rules the checker relies on, eg. whether a derived class' constructor is
responsible for initializing inherited data members or whether it should be
handled in the base class' constructor.
