CppCheck sensor shall support project findings

[Bertk]

The following CppCheck (1.68) finding is not handled correctly:

        <error id="unmatchedSuppression" severity="information" msg="Unmatched suppression: unusedFunction" verbose="Unmatched suppression: unusedFunction">
            <location file="*" line="0"/>
        </error>

Instead of adding a finding in SonarQube DB an error message is written to log file:

11:23:37.684 ERROR - path normalizing of 'C:\TFS_Server\Server\common\Source\converterLib\.\*' failed: 'java.io.IOException: Invalid argument'

In your example isfile="*". What would you expect in such a case?

[Bertk]

The CppCheck sensor already supports issues on project level and this kind of message shall be handled similarly. The combination of 'file="*"' and 'line="0"' can be used to identify this case and this information shall be dropped. Without these attributes the issue will be assigned on project level.

I think is no problem to add this special case (project issue)

Would only look for file==*
set file to null
set line to zero
in this case.

Yes, this should work.

Sorry, but we forgot a small update for the CppCheck rule repository:

09:57:04.639 ERROR - Could not add the issue, details: 'The rule 'cppcheck:unmatchedSuppression' does not exist.'

Missing rule support is a different issue.
Close this and open #502 instead.
