New linter: Flawfinder (#1361)

* Flawfinder support added for C and C++

A minor modification to gcc handler was made to support flawfinder's
single-line output format that does not have a space following the
colon denoting the warning level.  gcc handler still passes its
Vader tests after this modification.

* Documentation fixes

* Revert documentation regression

* Added Flawfinder to table of contents

* Removed trailing whitespace

* Follow ALE conventions better

Added additional documentation and Vader tests
