Summary:
There are a number if issues with using the same type for expressions
in code and in formulas. One is that the type systems of the two
should be different. Another is that conflating the two compromises
the ability of Llair to correctly express aspects such as integer
overflow, floating point rounding, etc. Also, it could be beneficial
to have more source locations for program expressions than makes sense
for terms.
This diff simply unshares Exp, leading to a copy named Term. Likewise,
Reg is now a copy of Var. Simplifications to come.

Summary:
Previously the LLVM semantics did the phi instructions at the head of a
block as part of executing the branch into that block. This looked a bit
weird, but had the advantage that the semantics knew which block was
being jumped from, which is necessary to run the phi instructions.
However, it meant that the rules for doing phi instructions would need
to show up with each branching construct. It was also annoying for the
LLVM->llair proof, since the phis are removed and their effect happens as
a distinct step from the branch.
Here we add a distinct Phi_ip instruction pointer to indicate that the
phi instructions at the start of the block should execute next, and then
be incremented to the usual numeric instruction pointer that points to
the non-phi instructions. The Phi_ip contains the identity of the
previous block.

Summary:
The simple LLVM semantics steps one instruction at a time, but the
generated llair does whole blocks at a time, since many individual LLVM
instructions can become a single llair expression. We add a bigger-step
LLVM semantics that does whole blocks at a time (except that it also
stops at function calls, since those end blocks in llair). The steps in
this bigger-step semantics should be at the same granularity as the
llair steps, making it easier to verify the translation.
We add a notion of observation to the LLVM semantics (right now, just
global variable writes) and use that to define two top-level semantic
functions, which we prove to be equivalent.

Summary:
This includes a few changes and corrections to the semantics, to support
the translation. This initial attempt to reason about LLVM -> llair
showed three things that needed repair in the semantics, in addition to
various bugs. We address them as follows.
Refactor llair semantics to have only a single kind of flat value:
integers that fit into specified bit widths. Operations on size values
(e.g., offsets, indices and the like) can just take an integer and
ignore its number of bits. Pointers can just be considered integers that
fit into a certain size given by the constant pointer_size. Later on we
can consider making this a parameter to the model.
Change the generic memory model interface to use numbers rather than
words as the generic encoding of a large value. This makes it more
useful for llair where words are not used.
Pay more careful attention to signed/unsigned issues. Neither LLVM nor
llair have a concept of signed vs unsigned value. Instead individual
operations interpret bit patterns in various ways, some of which are
ambiguous in the LLVM manual. For example, since getelementpointer's
indices are explicitly said to be interpreted as signed 2's complement,
we should probably do the same for insertvalue and extractvalue. However
it is not clear how the argument to alloca is to be interpreted. For now
we assume signed.

LLVM and llair have similar memory models, and we don't want to

theory which should be understandable in its own right. A heap is a
mapping from addresses to bytes, alongside a set of valid addresses, and
intervals that have been allocated already. Primitives are defined for
allocating and de-allocating as well as reading and writing chuncks of
bytes.
There is also a generic type of structured values, and functions for
converting them to/from byte arrays.

Summary:
While SSA can be useful for code transformation purposes, it offers
little for semantic static analyses. Essentially, such analyses
explore the dynamic semantics of code, and the *static* single
assignment property does not buy much. For example, once an execution
visits a loop body that assigns a variable, there are multiple
assignments that the analysis must deal with. This leads to the need
to treat blocks as if they assign all their local variables, renaming
to avoid name clashes a la Floyd's assignment axiom. That is fine, but
it makes it much more involved to implement a version that is
economical with respect to renaming only when necessary. Additionally
the scoping constraints of SSA are cumbersome and significantly
complicate interprocedural analysis (where there is a long history of
incorrect proof rules for procedures, and SSA pushes the
interprocedural analysis away from being able to use known-good
ones). So this diff changes Llair from a functional SSA form to a
traditional imperative language.

Before this diff symbolic execution of instructions assumed that
assigned variables were unconstrained in the precondition. This is
ensured by symbolic execution of control flow, which renames all local
variables of a block when it is entered.
This diff changes symbolic execution of instructions to rename
modified variables that appear in the precondition when necessary, and
accounts for the modified variable occurrence condition on the frame
rule. This will enable more economically renaming variables, as most
of the time it is not needed.

Summary:
This sketches out how translation can be approached. It is partially
based on the Sledge code.
For basic blocks, isn't based on the Sledge code, but just my own
thoughts as a starting point. Essentially, we are trying to build up
larger expressions, and so not assigning to temporary registers that
don't live past the end of the block. This does remove sharing, so a
fancier approach could check for multiple uses of end-of-block dead
registers, or look at the sizes of expressions. The approach should be
flexible enough to accommodate such changes.
Fix icmp syntax
Using finite maps is elegant in the semantics, but awkward for writing
the translation function. Refactor the mappings from labels to functions
and from labels to blocks to use association lists instead.
To remove phi nodes, the translation takes every edge in the control
flow graph and makes a new basic block that contains a single parallel
move instruction that corresponds to the action of the phi node of the
target block.

The AST is not complete on expressions, but it should have most of the
important features.
The representation is in some ways very different from the OCaml
implementation, because the OCaml code uses mutation to build the CFG as
an actual pointer graph in memory, and also because the expression
representation is optimised for the backend. For the former, it should
be easy to see that the AST here is isomorphic, representing the CFG
with finite maps from block labels. The correspondence is less clear in
the latter case, but the point here is not to model or verify
implementation optimisations, but to give a semantics to llair as a
language.

symbol `awesome_function` that is defined in the libraries linked in but
not in the produced binary (despite being reachable from main).
`llvm-nm` of the bitcode produced by `llvm-link` might look like:
```
U awesome_function
t awesome_function.1892
```
Some our `awesome_function` is undefined and its definition is called
`awsome_function.1892` for some reason and is local. I think this is because symbol get internalized too early and then they get renamed and somehow lost. Not sure why `llvm-link` behaves this way sometimes.
