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:
A plugin update allows infer to know when a function doesn't return
according to its attributes. This propagates this info all the way to
the attributes of each function, and then use this information in a new
pre-analysis that cuts the links to successor nodes of each `Call`
instruction to a function that does not return.
NOTE: The "no_return" `CallFlag.t` was dead code, following diffs deal
with that (by removing it).

Summary:
This also prints the CFGs *after* pre-analysis for individual procedures
in infer-out/captured/<filename>/<proc>.dot. One can also look up the
CFGs before pre-analysis in infer-out/captured/proc_cfgs_frontend.dot.
Context: I want to add a pre-analysis that needs to look at proc
attributes inter-procedurally. For this to make sense it has to happen
*after* all of capture, and before analysis.
Thus, this diff brings back the lazy running of the pre-analysis like in
D15803492, except that we still make sure to run the pre-analyses
systematically regardless of the checkers being run by running the
pre-analysis from ondemand.ml. Also we don't need to re-introduce the
"did_preanalysis" proc attribute for the same reason that the
pre-analysis is now run once and for all by ondemand.ml (instead of each
individual checker back in the days).
This has the benefit of running the pre-analysis only when needed, and
the drawback that several concurrent processes analysing the same proc
descs will duplicate work. Since pre-analyses are supposed to be very
fast I assume that neither is a big deal. If they become more expensive
then the benefit gets bigger and the drawback is just the same as with
regular analyses.

Note: Disabled by default.
Having some support for values, we can report when a null or constant
value is being dereferenced. The particularity here is that we don't
report when 0 is a possible value for the address, or even if we know
that the value of the address can only be 0 in that branch! Instead, we
allow ourselves to report only when we the address has been *set* to
NULL (or any constant).
This is in line with how pulse deals with other issues: only report when
1. we see an address become invalid, and
2. we see the same address be used later on

Summary:
This does several things because it was hard to split it more:
1. Split most of the arithmetic reasoning to PulseArithmetic.ml. This
doesn't need to be reviewed thoroughly because an upcoming diff
changes the domain from just `EqualTo of Const.t` to an interval domain!
2. When going through a prune node intra-procedurally, abduce arithmetic
facts to the pre (instead of just propagating them). This is the "assume
as assert" trick used by biabduction 1.0 too and allows to propagate
arithmetic constraints to callers.
3. Use 2 when applying summaries by pruning specs whose preconditions
have un-satisfiable arithmetic constraints.
This changes one of the tests! Pulse now does a bit more work to find
the false positive, as can be seen in the longer trace.

Summary:
Previously, we considered a function which modifies its parameters to be impure even though it might not be modifying the underlying value. This resulted in FPs like the following program in Java:
```
void fresh_pure(int[] a) {
a = new int[1];
}
```
Similarly, in C++, we considered the following program as impure because it was writing to `s`:
```
Simple* reassign_pure(Simple* s) {
s = new Simple{2};
return s;
}
```
This diff fixes that issue by starting the check for address equivalnce in pre-post not directly from the addresses of the stack variables, but from the addresses pointed to by these stack variables. That means, we only consider things to be impure if the actual values pointed by the parameters change.

Summary:
bigmacro_bender
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.

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:
Introduce a new experimental checker (`--impurity`) that detects
impurity information, tracking which parameters and global variables
of a function are modified. The checker relies on Pulse to detect how
the state changes: it traverses the pre and post pairs starting from
the parameter/global variable and finds where the pre and post heaps
diverge. At diversion points, we expect to see WrittenTo/Invalid attributes
containing a trace of how the address was modified. We use these to
construct the trace of impurity.
This checker is a complement to the purity checker that exists mainly
for Java (and used for cost and loop-hoisting analyses). The aim of
this new experimental checker is to rely on Pulse's precise
memory treatment and come up with a more precise im(purity)
analysis. To distinguish the two checkers, we introduce a new issue
type `IMPURE_FUNCTION` that reports when a function is impure, rather
than when it is pure (as in the purity checker).
TODO:
- improve the analysis to rely on impurity information of external
library calls. Currently, all library calls are assumed to be nops,
hence pure.
- de-entangle Pulse reporting from analysis.

Summary:
Change the logic of the annotation reachability checker in the following
ways:
1. Sanitizers take priority over sinks, i.e. a procedure that is both a
sink and a sanitizer is not a sink. This changes the existing tests
that seemed to assume the opposite. However I think that way is more
useful and goes better with the fact that sanitizers are specified as
"overrides".
2. When applying a summary, check again that we are not in a sanitizer
for the corresponding sink.
Without (2) this there was a subtle bug when several rules were
specified. For example, if `sink_wrapper()` wraps `sink()` for a rule
`R` then the summary of `sink_wrapper()` will be: `R-sink : call to sink()`.
Then, suppose `sanitizer()` calls `sink_wrapper()` and `sanitizer()` is
a sanitizer for `R` but not for another rule `R'`. The previous code
would add the call to `sink()` to the summary of `sanitizer()` because
it's not a sanitizer for `R'`, even though `sink()` is not a sink for
`R'`!
The current code will re-apply the rules correctly so that sinks are
matched only against the right sanitizers.
