A clang user pointed out that messages for the static analyzer undefined assignment checker use the term ‘garbage’, which might have a negative connotation to some users. This change updates the messages to use the term ‘uninitialized’. This is the usual reason why a value is undefined in the static analyzer and describes the logical error that a programmer should take action to fix. Out-of-bounds reads can also produce undefined values in the static analyzer. The right long-term design is to have to the array bounds checker cover out-of-bounds reads, so we do not cover that case in the updated messages. The recent improvements to the array bounds checker make it a candidate to add to the core set of checkers. rdar://133418644
