After recent improvements (#80029), and testing on open-source projects, the
checker is ready to move out of the alpha package.

I have run this checker on multiple OS projects and found no false positives and only 10 true ones.
The complete set of tested projects:
codechecker, memcached, tmux, curl, twin, vim, openssl, sqlite, ffmpeg, postgres, tinyxml2, libwebm, xerces, bitcoin, protobuf, qtbase, openrct2, llvm-project.

The results for this checker:

https://codechecker-demo.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com/Default/reports?run=bitcoin_v0.20.1_alpha.unix.BlockInCriticalSection-evaluation&is-unique=on&diff-type=New&checker-name=alpha.unix.BlockInCriticalSection

https://codechecker-demo.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com/Default/reports?run=qtbase_v6.2.0_alpha.unix.BlockInCriticalSection-evaluation&is-unique=on&diff-type=New&checker-name=alpha.unix.BlockInCriticalSection

https://codechecker-demo.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com/Default/reports?run=openrct2_v0.4.8_alpha.unix.BlockInCriticalSection-evaluation&is-unique=on&diff-type=New&checker-name=alpha.unix.BlockInCriticalSection

Also note that even if there is a recent commit (#93799) admitting to one of this checker's limitations (that can lead to false positives), these OS project runs did not show any, so it currently does not seem to be a very prominent limitation.
Please see this comment #93799 (comment) for my plans to deal with this limitation and reduce code duplication.

Changes

After recent improvements, and testing on open source projects, the
checker is ready to move out of the alpha package.

I would like to land #93799 and #93799 first, then this modification.

I have ran this checker on multiple OS projects, and found no false positives, and only 10 true ones.
The complete set of tested projects:
codechecker, memcached, tmux, curl, twin, vim, openssl, sqlite, ffmpeg, postgres, tinyxml2, libwebm, xerces, bitcoin, protobuf, qtbase, openrct2, llvm-project.
