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.

Summary:
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.

Summary:
Add an option for realloc and fiddle with the other options' help for
consistency.
Moved the memory leak test to memory_leak.c and added more.
Moved the place where we take the options into account closer to their
corresponding models to defend a bit against modifying one without
modifying the other.

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.

Before returning a summary, restore formals to their initial values.
This gets rid of a false latent because the value in the path condition
is now garbage-collected.
Added a test for the tricky case of structs passed as values.

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:
List of things happening in this unreviewable diff:
- moved PulsePathCondition to PulseSledge
- renamed --pulse-path-conditions to --pudge
- PulsePathCondition now contains all the arithmetic of pulse
(inferbo+concrete intervals+pudge). In particular, moved arithmetic
attributes into PulsePathCondition.t. PulsePathCondition plays the
role of PulseArithmetic (combining all domains).
- added tests for a false positive involving free()
- PulseArithmetic is now just a thin wrapper around PulsePathCondition
to operate on states directly (instead of on path conditions).
- The rest is mostly moving code into PulsePathCondition (eg, from
PulseInterproc) and adjusting it.

Add a new data structure and use it for the map of memory accesses to
limit the number of destinations reachable from a given address. This
avoids remembering details of each index in large arrays, or even each

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;`).
