Can we remove unrelated information? Same for all mentions of PrivateKey

This is good for getting rid of the false positive but in the future I think it would be great to:
- Update the state, so we know what is the pointee of the returned ptr (*uniqueptr in our case).
- Set the unique_ptr to null. I am not sure if we support nullable owners properly at the point. The current paper also does not really elaborate on this.
- Maybe we need a way to annotate ownership transferring functions in the future? Not all of them migh have the name release.
Some of these notes are more for our future selves designing a new version of the analysis, rather than the current implementation :)

Currently only the detection is implemented. Wasn't sure about the warning policy. The new warning doesn't really seem to fit for the LifetimeReporter
