Static code analysis about openage

[jamesmintram]

I have used CPPCheck on other projects - it is good for hooking into CI too: http://cppcheck.sourceforge.net/

this looks nice for code style too:

clang-analyzer is really nice:

Compared to CPPCheck it has the advantage of really understanding C++.

Regarding code style: C++ is so feature-rich that I doubt we'll ever be able to translate our style guidelines to even semi-complete machine-readable code, so at the very most, we might check stuff like the capitalization of identifiers...
Regarding clang-analyzer: Looks promising... but the travis build times won't be happy: While the Clang Static Analyzer is being designed to be as fast and light-weight as possible, please do not expect it to be as fast as compiling a program

So we should just integrate that into the ./configure script.

mkdir /tmp/openage-analysis
cd /tmp/openage-analysis
export CCC_CXX=clang++ CXX=clang++
scan-build cmake /path/to/git/repo
scan-build make
scan-view /tmp/scan-build-....
