SAF-x-safe rename



Hi MISRA C working group (Jan, Roger, Andrew, Julien, Bertrand, George)

in a recent thread Andrew pointed out that the SAF-2-safe tag is
confusing and requested a rename:
https://marc.info/?l=xen-devel&m=169634970821202

As documented by docs/misra/documenting-violations.rst:

 - SAF-X-safe: This tag means that the next line of code contains a finding, but
   the non compliance to the checker is analysed and demonstrated to be safe.
 - SAF-X-false-positive-<tool>: This tag means that the next line of code
   contains a finding, but the finding is a bug of the tool.


Today we have already 28 instances of SAF tags in the Xen codebase.


Andrew suggested "ANALYSIS" instead of SAF so I would imagine:
- ANALYSIS-X-safe
- ANALYSIS-X-false-positive-<tool>

If we really want a rename I suggest to rename SAF to SAFE:
- SAFE-X-safe
- SAFE-X-false-positive-<tool>

Or maybe MISRA:
- MISRA-X-safe
- MISRA-X-false-positive-<tool>

But I actually prefer to keep the tag as it is today.


If you have any naming suggestions please let me know by Oct 11. After
that, I plan to run a Doodle poll to check the preference of the group.

Cheers,

Stefano
