Summary:
It turns out HIL gets in the way of a precise heap analysis. For
instance, instead of:
```
n$0 = *&x.f
_ = delete(&x)
*&y = n$0
```
HIL tries hard to forget about intermediate variables and shows instead
```
_ = delete(&x)
*&y = *&x.f
```
Oops, that's a use-after-delete, whereas the original code was safe.
While it's easy to write SIL programs that are completely unsound for
HIL, they are not generated very often from the frontends. In fact, the
problem became apparent only when making the clang frontend translate
C++ temporaries destructors, which produces the situation above
routinely.
This diff makes the minimal amount of change to make Pulse build and
produce equivalent results (minus HIL bugs) starting from SIL instead of
HIL. The reporting sucks for now because we need to translate SIL
temporaries back into program access paths. This is done in the next
diff.

Summary:
Bundle all non-semantic-bearing instructions into a `Metadata _`
instruction in SIL.
- On a documentation level this makes clearer the distinction between
instructions that encode the semantics of the program and those that are
just hints for the various backend analysis.
- This makes it easier to add more of these auxiliary instructions in
the future. For example, the next diff introduces a new `Skip` auxiliary
instruction to replace the hacky `ExitScope([], Location.dummy)`.
- It also makes it easier to surface all current and future such
auxiliary instructions to HIL as the datatype for these syntactic hints
can be shared between SIL and HIL. This diff brings `Nullify` and
`Abstract` to HIL for free.

Summary:
It's useful for checkers to know when variables go out of scope to
perform garbage collection in their domains, especially for complex
domains with non-trivial joins. This makes the analyses more precise at
little cost.
This could have been added as a custom function call to a builtin, but I
decided against it because this instruction doesn't have the semantics
of any function call. It's better for each checker to explicitly not
deal with the custom instruction instead.

Summary:
Before, the liveness pre-analysis would place extra instructions in the
CFG for either:
1. marking an `Ident.t` as dead, or
2. marking a `Pvar.t` as `= 0`
But we have no way of marking pvars dead without setting them to 0. This
is bad because setting pvars to 0 is not possible everywhere they are
dead. Indeed, we only do it when we haven't seen their address being
taken anyway. This prevents the following situation, recorded in our tests:
```
int address_taken() {
int** x;
int* y;
int i = 7;
y = &i;
x = &y;
// if we don't reason about taken addresses while adding nullify instructions,
// we'll add
// `nullify(y)` here and report a false NPE on the next line
return **x;
}
```
So we want to mark pvars as dead without nullifying them. This diff
extends the `Remove_temps` SIL instruction to accept pvars as well, and
so renames it to `ExitScope`.

Summary:
Moving away from C++ include-based models means that we cannot reliably detect
anymore whether a file includes <iostream> or not. In order not to be too
spammy, let's always assume standard streams are initialized for now when the
include models are off.
Recent versions of libstdc++ make these models redundant so there is hope that in a
bright future the analysis of std streams initialisation will work correctly without infer
having to have its own models anyway.
