Donát Nagy 2bc38dc30b [analyzer] Improve bug report hashing, merge similar reports (#98621) ...

Previously there were certain situations where
alpha.security.ArrayBoundV2 produced lots of very similar and redundant
reports that only differed in their full `Description` that contained
the (negative) byte offset value. (See
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/86969 for details.)

This change updates the `Profile()` method of `PathSensitiveBugReport`
to ensure that it uses `getShortDescription()` instead of the full
`Description` so the standard report deduplication eliminates most of
these redundant reports.

Note that the effects of this change are very limited because there are
very few checkers that specify a separate short description, and so
`getShortDescription()` practically always defaults to returning the
full `Description`.

For the sake of consistency `BasicBugReport::Profile()` is also updated
to use the short description. (Right now there are no checkers that use
`BasicBugReport` with separate long and short descriptions.)

This commit also includes some small code quality improvements in
`ArrayBoundV2` that are IMO too trivial to be moved into a separate
commit.
