Updated the layout and listed individual files.
It is not trivial to separate out scan-build with analyze-build since all the 
logic is in one python lib file. Furthermore, libear is compiled with the cc 
compiler that is supplied as an argument to the tool, so i cannot turn that 
into a prebuilt without a large refactor to the codebase. I added a comment 
listing the reason.
