[Checkers] r2622: modifying visitNewClass on TypeFromTree

[Mahmood Ali]

Hi Telmo,

Currently, the framework does not do anything creative about that.   
Before your check-in, it merely added the annotations found in the new  
class tree.  The individual checkers have the responsibilities of  
inserting such annotation (check  
IGJAnnotatedTypeFactory.IGJTreePreAnnotator for such example).  In  
other words, for your example, it only returned @A SomeObject.

I am imagining the framework to do two extra things:
1. QualifierHierarchy (a.k.a. AnnotationRelations) - relatively a new  
class - expose the hierarchy of qualifiers.  The framework could  
simply insert non-contradictory qualifiers.  So no individual checkers  
needs to override that behavior.

2. Check that the user-specified qualifier in the new class is a valid  
supertype of the constructor receiver.  So one wouldn't have new  
@Immutable FOO() when the constructor is defined as 'FOO() @Mutable  
{ }'.

Hopefully that helps.

Regards,
Mahmood
