This PR is an attempt to add error-prone static checker to be able to detect issues in the code.
This is not ready to merge given in only fixed some of the errors detected (36 files so far). I just fixed the more problematic errors. Several more warnings (including null handling) were reported.
Some errors are clearly problematic in production, including some infinite recursions while other are just informative (ie there are ton of cases where we call Preconditions with {} instead of %s, which means the message will not contain the argument).
