versions will be able to use libraries written for previous versions

- Suggest usage of make_shared/make_unique
- Warn about usage of malloc with auto_ptr

- Support std::array (C++11)
- Detect same expressions in both branches of a ternary operator
- New <container>-tags in libraries to configure STL (and similar) container
types
- Several improvements to ValueFlow analysis (for example support for default
function arguments)
- Improved buffer overrun and memory leak checking
- Removed a bunch of redundant checking code
- Removed several simplifications
- Stronger matching of library functions
- Lots of additions to std.cfg and posix.cfg
- New library for Microsoft SAL (microsoft_sal.cfg)
