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:
It turns out HIL gets in the way of a precise heap analysis. For
instance, instead of:
```
n$0 = *&x.f
_ = delete(&x)
*&y = n$0
```
HIL tries hard to forget about intermediate variables and shows instead
```
_ = delete(&x)
*&y = *&x.f
```
Oops, that's a use-after-delete, whereas the original code was safe.
While it's easy to write SIL programs that are completely unsound for
HIL, they are not generated very often from the frontends. In fact, the
problem became apparent only when making the clang frontend translate
C++ temporaries destructors, which produces the situation above
routinely.
This diff makes the minimal amount of change to make Pulse build and
produce equivalent results (minus HIL bugs) starting from SIL instead of
HIL. The reporting sucks for now because we need to translate SIL
temporaries back into program access paths. This is done in the next
diff.

Summary:
One "interesting" feature of the approach of merging the captured targets in Java, is that we union their type environments, as opposed to store partial tenvs together with each source file, which is the case for Clang.
This means
- the final global type environment is potentially huge because it contains all the types in all targets.
- all analysis workers start by loading that tenv in memory, meaning we consume `|size of tenv| x #cpus` memory, which can tip the balance towards OOMs
This diff attempts to economise on global tenv size. This is done by increasing sharing which is then preserved by marshalling. It's done in a brute force way, with hashtables for each struct component, and is not fully effective due to the recursion amongst types and types names, as well types appearing inside other constructs such as procnames.
This is done when calling `Tenv.store` so that
- the computation can be parallelised somewhat (capture is parallel, merging is not)
- buck caching will benefit from smaller tenvs.
This saves about 24% of total memory devoted to the type environment.

Summary:
This started as an attempt to understand how to modify the frontend to
inject destructors for C++ temporaries (see next diffs).
This diff rewrites the existing logic for computing the list of
variables that should be destroyed at the end of each statement, either
because it's the end of their syntactic scope or because control flow
branches outside of their syntactic scope.
The frontend translates a function from the last instructions to the
first, but scope computation needs to be done in the other direction, so
it's done in a separate pass *before* the main translation happens. That
first pass creates a map from statements in the AST to the list of
variables that should be destroyed at the end of these statements. This
is still the case now.
Before, that map would be computed in a bit of a weird way: scopes are
naturally a stack but instead of that the structure maintained was a
flat list + a counter to know where the current scope ended in that
list.
In this diff, redo the computation maintaining a stack of scopes
instead, which is a bit cleaner. Also treat more instructions as
introducing a new scope, eg if, for, ...

It turns out that in biabduction, bufferoverrun and other HIL analyses we did Preanalysis step (which adds scope instructions and invokes liveness etc.) but not in others. This discrepancy results in inconsistent analysis results (e.g. in the new inefficient-keyset-iterator) that rely on instructions. We should be consistent. Hence, we now invoke Preanalysis in the frontend and remove all other uses in the rest of the checkers.
Consequently, I had to update the inefficient-keyset-checker to take the CFG resulting from Preanalysis with extra scoping instructions.

Summary:
A more dynamic scheduling scheme will potentially run into the situation where no new work packets can be scheduled, but more work will be possible to schedule in the future, perhaps when some dependent work packet finishes being analysed.
The current implementation prevents that, as it expects that if a worker goes idle, it stays idle.
The changes here address this in two parts:
- the `select` call is always given a finite timeout. If given an infinite timeout, we will not be able to poll the task generator for more work, where none were previously possible.
- when the `select` call times out without updates, check if there is an idle child, and if so if the task generator has more work right now.
See also ProcessPool.mli for comments.

Summary:
Before moving to any kind of non-trivial scheduling, we need to change the Tasks interface.
In particular, it's too restrictive to expect that the tasks to be scheduled are provided as a list before starting execution. For example, dynamic scheduling does not fit the bill here. Also, the list expectation means all scheduling work has to be done up front.
The solution here is to move to a `Sequence`-like interface with one difference:
- The function returning the next task expects a task option argument. That argument is the task that was just finished (if any) by the worker expecting new work. This will be useful for things like task dependencies (for instance, a procedure has been analysed, and can be marked so).
