Summary:
There's already all the ingredients to treat function pointers pretty
well, even when stored inside (const) globals.
In OpenSSL they use something like the added tests but the globals are
not const... This may need tweaking via an option, eg to inline all
global initializers, or filtered by global names/file names. Or just
use the existing --pulse-model-{alloc,release}-pattern options.

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.

Summary:
Malloc returns either an allocated object or a null pointer if there is no memory available. Modelling that.
This has always been a bit contentious because this leads to NPEs that people often ignores because they don't care. But if we don't model this, then we have FPs when people do take this into account when freeing the memory.

Summary:
First version of a new memory leak check based on Pulse. The idea is to examine unreachable cells in the heap and check that the "Allocated" attribute is available but the "Invalid CFree" isn't. This is done when we remove variables from the state.
Currently it only works for malloc, we can extend it to other allocation functions later.

Summary:
Adding a model for malloc: we add an attribute "Allocated". This can be used for implementing memory leaks: whenever the variables get out of scope, we can check that if the variable has an attribute Allocated, it also has an attribute Invalid CFree.
Possibly we will need more details in the Allocated attribute, to know if it's malloc, or other allocation function, but we can add that later when we know how it should look like.
