Summary:
Unknown functions may create false positives as well as false negatives
for Pulse. Let's consider that unknown functions behave "functionally",
or at least that a functional behaviour is a possible behaviour for
them: when called with the same parameter values, they should return the
same value.
This is implemented purely in the arithmetic domain by recording
`v_return = f_unknown(v1, v2, ..., vN)` for each call to unknown
functions `f_unknown` with values `v1`, `v2`, ..., `vN` (and return
`v_return`). The hope is that this will create more false negatives than
false positives, as several FPs have been observed on real code that
would be suppressed with this heuristic.
The other effect this has on reports is to record hypotheses made on the
return values of unknown functions into the "pruned" part of formulas,
which inhibits reporting on paths whose feasibility depends on the
return value of unknown functions (by making these issues latent
instead). This should allow us to control the amount of FPs until we
model more functions.

Summary:
Add a new `PathContext.t` component to the abstract state. For now it
tracks only the current "timestamp" of symbolic execution inside the
procedure, i.e. which step of symbolic execution we are in (bumped by 1
each time we've executed one instruction). In the future this will also
hold, eg, which conditionals we've been through on the path (for
reporting traces with that information).
Most of the diff is about propagating the path context through many of
the APIs.
We use timestamps only in `MustBeValid` attributes to report the first
incorrect access in a function call for now.

Spoiler alert: we don't. The next diffs fix that.
When there are several invalid accesses to report at a function call
instruction, we want to report the first one to occur within the
function. This is to avoid confusing reports where pulse reports, eg, a
null dereference for a pointer at a point where it's already been
dereferenced before in the same function.

This fixes a memory leak false positive. When collecting unreachable

Equal values are normally canonicalised but only with respect to "known"

Summary:
When garbage-collecting addresses we would also remove their attributes.
But even though the addresses are no longer allocated in the heap, they
might show up in the formula and so we need to remember facts about
them.
This forces us to detect leaks closer to the point where addresses are
deleted from the heap, in AbductiveDomain.ml. This is a nice refactoring
in itself: doing so fixes some other FNs where we sometimes missed leak
detection on dead addresses.
This also makes it unecessary to simplify InstanceOf eagerly when
variables get out of scope.
Some new {folly,std}::optionals false positives that either are similar to existing ones or involve unmodelled smart pointers.

that's untraceable is the model of `free`/`delete`, because it happens
to be the only place where we invalidate an address without knowing
where it comes from (`free(v)`: what was v's access path? we could track
this in the future).

Summary:
The eventual goal is to stop having separate sections of the trace
("invalidation part" + "access part") when the "access part" already
goes through the invalidation step. For this, it needs to record when a
value is made invalid along the path.
This is also important for assignements to NULL/0/nullptr/nil: right now
the way we record that 0 is not a valid address is via an attribute
attached to the abstract value that corresponds to 0. This makes traces
inconsistent sometimes: 0 can appear in many places in the same function
and we won't necessarily pick the correct one. In other words, attaching
traces to *values* is fragile, as the same value can be produced in many
ways. On the other hand, histories are stored at the point of access, eg
x->f, so have a much better chance of being correct. See added test:
right now its traces is completely wrong and makes the 0 in `if
(utf16StringLen == 0)` the source of the NULL value instead of the
return of `malloc()`!
This diff makes the traces slightly more verbose for now but this is
fixed in a following diff as the traces that got longer are those that
don't actually need an "invalidation" trace.

In these cases, we want to report the issue straight away instead of

Summary:
Whenever an equality "t = v" (t an arbitrary term, v a variable) is
added (or "v = t"), remember the "t -> v" mapping after canonicalising t
and v. Use this to detect when two variables are equal to the same term:
`t = v` and `t = v'` now yields `v = v'` to be added to the equality
relation of variables. This increases the precision of the arithmetic
engine.
Interestingly, the impact on most code I've tried is:
1. mostly same perfs as before, if a bit slower (could be within noise)
2. slightly more (latent) bugs reported in absolute numbers
I would have expected it to be more expensive and yield fewer bugs (as
fewer false positives), but there could be second-order effects at play
here where we get more coverage. We definitely get more latent issues
due to dereferencing pointers after testing nullness, as can be seen in
the unit tests as well, which may alone explain (2).
There's some complexity when adding term equalities where the term
is linear, as we also need to add it to `linear_eqs` but `term_eqs` and
`linear_eqs` are interested in slightly different normal forms.

Summary:
When encountering a constant, pulse creates an abstract value (a
variable) to represent it, and remembers that it's equal to it. The
problem is that pulse doesn't yet know how to deal with the fact that
some variables are going to be equal to each other.
This hacks around this issue in the case of constants, within the same
procedure, by remembering which constants have been assigned to which
place-holder variables, and serving those variables again when the same
constant is translated again.
Limitation: this doesn't work across procedure calls as the "constant
maps" are not saved in summaries.
Something to look out for: we don't want to make `if (p == NULL)` create
a path where `p` is invalid (we only make null invalid when we see an
assignment from 0, i.e. `p = NULL;`).
