Summary:
This gets rid of false positives when something invalid (eg null) is
passed by reference to an initialisation function. Havoc'ing what the
contents of the pointer to results in being optimistic about said
contents in the future.
Also surprisingly gets rid of some FNs (which means it can also
introduce FPs) in the `std::atomic` tests because a path condition
becomes feasible with havoc'ing.
There's a slight refinement possible where we don't havoc pointers to
const but that's more involved and left as future work.

Summary:
Turns out code uses atomics in important places, modelling it removes
FPs.
The tests are copied from biabduction and adapted and extended a bit. I
didn't implement compare_exchange primitives for now (plus, giving them
a sequential semantics like in biabduction is probably a bit cheeky).

There are 3 ways pulse tracks history. This is at least one too many. So
far, we have:
1. "histories": a humble list of "events" like "assigned here", "returned from call", ...
2. "interproc actions": a structured nesting of calls with a final "action", eg "f calls g calls h which does blah"
3. "traces", which combine one history with one interproc action
This diff gets rid of interproc actions and makes histories include
"nested" callee histories too. This allows pulse to track and display
how a value got assigned across function calls.
Traces are now more powerful and interleave histories and interproc
actions. This allows pulse to track how a value is fed into an action,
for instance performed in callee, which itself creates some more
(potentially now interprocedural) history before going to the next step
of the action (either another call or the action itself).
This gives much better traces, and some examples are added to showcase
this.
There are a lot of changes when applying summaries to keep track of
histories more accurately than was done before, but also a few
simplifications that give additional evidence that this is the right
concept.

Summary:
When we make the decision to go into a branch "v = N" where some
abstract value is compared to a constant, remember the corresponding
equality. This allows to prune simple infeasible paths
intra-procedurally.
Further work is needed to make this useful interprocedurally, for
instance either or both of these ideas could be explored:
- abduce v=N in the precondition and do not apply summaries when the
equalities in the pre are not satisfied
- prune post-conditions that lead to unsat states where a value has to
be equal to several different constants

Summary:
Pulse didn't treat local variables going out of scope as invalidating the corresponding address in memory. This diff fixes that by
- marking all local variables that exits the scope with the attribute `AddressOfStackVariable`
- before we write the summary for the proc, we make sure to invalidate all such addresses local to the procedure as `Invalid.` If such an address is read, then we would raise a use-after-lifetime issue.

Summary:
[apologies for the unreviewable diff...]
Get rid of HIL expressions in pulse. This finishes the HIL -> SIL
migration. The first step made pulse start from SIL instructions but
would translate most accesses to HIL to re-use most of the existing
pulse code. This diff gets rid of the intermediate translation of SIL
expressions to HIL expressions.
Big changes:
1. `PulseOperations` mostly rewritten, driven by using `Exp.t` instead of `HilExp.AccessExpression.t` for everything.
2. Stop trying to reverse-engineer what addresses mean in terms of
access paths from program variables. Rely on the trace pointing at
the right places in the code to be enough. This is because it wasn't
that useful (and could even be misleading when wrong) but could be
prohibitively expensive in degenerate cases (eg nodes with tens of
thousands of successive array accesses...)
3. `PulseAbductiveDomain.apply_post` now returns the computed return
value instead of recording it itself.
4. Change of vocabulary: `materialize` -> `eval`, `crumb` -> `event`
5. Function calls arguments are now evaluated prior to doing anything
else, which saves everything else from having to (remember to) do
that. In particular, this changes how models look quite a bit.

Summary:
We see the magic function `__variable_initialization` at the point where
the variable is declared, eg `int x = foo()`. It's safe to reset `&x` at
that point. This circumvents an issue that pops up in some rare cases
where the ternary conditional operator `?:` and variable initialization
conspire to produce weird frontend results.
Some test becomes a FN again, but I think it was being reported for the
wrong reasons; will investigate more later.
