Adding <Local name="foobar"> to filters (was Re: FindDeadLocalStores / exclude filter issue)

First, all the XML elements need to be wrapped in a  
<FindBugsFilter> ... </FindBugsFilter>

I'm guessing that these warnings involve local variables, not fields.  
Thus suppressing warnings
associated with particular fields won't do anything for you.

Turns out that it seems we don't have a way to specify a local  
variable name in
our suppression file format. So I added one <Local  
name="whateveryouwant">.

I really never use the suppression filters, so I'd like people who do  
use suppression
to check both my choice for the name and any other issues associated  
with adding this feature.

With this changes, the following will suppress any warnings that have  
a primary local variable
name that starts with _jspx_.


<FindBugsFilter>
   <Match>
         <Local name="~_jspx_.*" />
   </Match>
</FindBugsFilter>


I also changed the DLS detector so that DLS warnings on variables  
with names that start
with $ or _ receive at most a low priority.
