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:
Useful to understand the changes in the pre-analysis, or to inspect the
CFG that checkers actually get.
This means that the pre-analysis always runs when we output the dotty,
but I don't really see a reason why not. In fact, we could probably
*always* store the CFGs as pre-analysed.
