Kristof Umann 3b18b050b8 [analyzer] Add a checker option to detect nested dead stores
Enables the users to specify an optional flag which would warn for more dead
stores.
Previously it ignored if the dead store happened e.g. in an if condition.

if ((X = generate())) { // dead store to X
}

This patch introduces the `WarnForDeadNestedAssignments` option to the checker,
which is `false` by default - so this change would not affect any previous
users.
I have updated the code, tests and the docs as well. If I missed something, tell
me.

I also ran the analysis on Clang which generated 14 more reports compared to the
unmodified version. All of them seemed reasonable for me.
