Now that there is only one toplevel place where we print problems,
we can redirect just that one print to a file when we are
regenerating the exceptions.txt file. Previously we redirected
sys.stdout, which is naughty, and forced us to send warnings (and
warnings alone) to stderr.
Instead of having "consider" functions that have to call a global
ProblemVault, we can now generate all the metrics for the code
separately from the decision about what to do for them.
I'm about to refactor the code into a set of iterators that yield
*all* the metrics for the code, and then add a filter on top of that
to return the problems.
When an exception is present, we can now violate the limit by a little
bit and only produce a warning. The strict flag overrides this
behavior.
I've given file sizes a 2% tolerances and function sizes/include
counts a 10% tolerance.

This was causing issues because the exceptions file is written using Posix
paths, whereas practracker in Windows was trying to match Windows paths ("\"
instead of "/").
- Introduce 'make check-best-practices'.
- Fix up Tor topdir etc to work with the way 'make check-local' gets called.
- Make practracker less likely to print useless stuff.
