Dodji Seketeli 108a6074a5 Initial implementation of a --leaf-changes-only option to abidiff
This patch allows abidiff to take the --leaf-changes-only option and
then to display only the changes that are local to any given type.
That means the reporting agent won't follow pointers when displaying
changes.  That gives less context to the ABI change reports but then
they are less cluttered.

To do this, the patch introduces a new reporting agent to libabigail:
abigail::comparison::leaf_reporter.  When given a graph of diff nodes,
this agent only reports about the leaf (local) changes.  That is, it
will *NOT* follow pointers, references, underlying types of qualified
and typedef types and things like that. It will just report about
changes that are local to a given type.

This reporting agent is then used (in lieu of the default
abigail::comparison::default_reporter agent) when the
--leaf-changes-only option is provided by the user on the command line
of abidiff.

Note that abidiff also takes the --impacted-interfaces option to so
that the leaf reporter shows the set of interfaces impacted
by each leaf change.
