Summary:
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

This adds a more interesting value domain to pulse: concrete intervals.
There are still two main limitations:
1. arithmetic operations are all over-approximated: any assignment involving arithmetic operations is replaced by non-determinism
2. abstract values that are discovered to be equal are not merged into one

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:

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.

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:
[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:
Before: the trace would explain how a value was invalidated and
accessed, but not how the value that was invalidated had been
constructed.
Now: `PulseTrace.t` records breadcrumbs of how the value was constructed
in addition to the interproc "action" trace leading to the invalidation
or access action.
Concretely:
```
void bad(X &x) {
X *y = x;
X *z = x;
delete y;
access(z);
}
```
will produce the trace:
Invalidation part:
y = x
delete y
Access part:
z = x
access(z)
access to z->f inside of access(z)
Before this diff the "Access part" would be missing the "z = x" part of
the trace, so it might be confusing why `z` has anything to do with `y`.
However, such "breadcrumbs" are not recorded in the inter-procedural
part, only the sequence of calls is. This is a trade-off for simplicity,
maybe it's enough for developers maybe it isn't, we'll find out later.

Only throw values to the pre if they can be followed from "abducible"

Because figuring out if a `Pvar.t` is a formal of the current procedure
is actually a giant pain, hack something not too bad instead:
pre-register all formals at the start of the analysis of the
procedure. Then the only other variables we care about in the
precondition are globals, which we can detect easily.
This is mostly an optimisation (summaries won't include irrelevant
"abduced" facts about the procedure's local variables anymore), but it
also fixes a bug where we would sometimes overwrite things in the pre. I
think that's why the tests improved.

that `mapping(lhs)` was a supergraph of `rhs`. In particular,
we had that `x |-> x' * x' |-> x'' |- x |-> x'`. This is not entirely
great, in particular once we get pairs of state representing footprint +
current state. I'm not sure I have an extremely compelling argument why
though, except that it's not the usual way we do implication in SL, but
there wasn't a compelling argument for the previous state of affairs
either.
This changes `|-` to be true only when `mapping(lhs) = rhs` (modulo only
considering the addresses reachable from the stack variables).
