Description

Currently the batch analysis is just a batch of on-the-fly inspections. So if you pass a folder to it you will get different results as if you passed a folder to Cppcheck.

We are also ignoring findings on header (.h) files which are reported while analyzing a source file. These findings need to be reported in the batch analysis as well.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how the current batch analysis works in the plugin and how Cppcheck's native batch analysis differs. Identify where header file findings are being suppressed and implement logic to include them in batch results.
