Summary:
Introduce a new notion of equality for comparing abstract addresses in distinct threads:
```
(** Abstract address for a lock. There are two notions of equality:
- Equality for comparing two addresses within the same thread/process/trace. Under this,
identical globals and identical class objects compare equal. Locks represented by access paths
rooted at method parameters must have equal access paths to compare equal. Paths rooted at
locals are ignored.
- Equality for comparing two addresses in two distinct threads/traces. Globals and class objects
are compared in the same way, but locks represented by access paths rooted at parameters need
only have equal access lists (ie [x.f.g == y.f.g]). This allows demonically aliasing
parameters in *distinct* threads. This relation is used in [may_deadlock]. *)

Summary:
Ideally the analyser should equate locks `this.x.f` and `a.x.f` in different methods if they can alias.
The heuristic removed here was rarely used and is in the way of a re-write of the analysis.
It was also badly implemented, as this should ideally be the comparison relation of `Lock`.
