Summary:
This is several inter-connected changes together to keep the tests
happy.
The ConditionalOperator `b?t:e` is translated by first creating a
placeholder variable to temporarily store the result of the evaluation
in each branch, then the real thing we want to assign to reads that
variable. But, there are situations where that changes the semantics of
the expression, namely when the value created is a struct on the stack
(eg, a C++ temporary). This is because in SIL we cannot assign the
*address* of a program variable, only its contents, so by the time we're
out of the conditional operator we cannot set the struct value
correctly anymore: we can only set its content, which we did, but that
results in a "shifted" struct value that is one dereference away from
where it should be.
So a batch of changes concern `conditionalOperator_trans`:
- instead of systematically creating a temporary for the conditional,
use the `trans_state.var_exp_typ` provided from above if available
when translating `ConditionalOperator`
- don't even set anything if that variable was already initialized by
merely translating the branch expression, eg when it's a constructor
- fix long-standing TODO to propagate these initialization facts
accurately for ConditionalOperator (used by `init_expr_trans` to also
figure out if it should insert a store to the variable being
initialised or not)
The rest of the changes adapt some relevant other constructs to deal
with conditionalOperator properly now that it can set the current
variable itself, instead of storing stuff inside a temp variable. This
change was a problem because some constructs, eg a variable declaration,
will insert nodes that set up the variable before calling its
initialization, and now the initialization happens *before* that setup,
in the translation of the inner conditional operator, which naturally
creates nodes above the current one.
- add a generic helper to force a sequential order between two
translation results, forcing node creation if necessary
- use that in `init_expr_trans` and `cxxNewExpr_trans`
- adjust many places where `var_exp_typ` was incorrectly not reset when translating sub-expressions
The sequentiality business creates more nodes when used, and the
conditionalOperator business uses fewer temporary variables, so the
frontend results change quite a bit.
Note that biabduction tests were invaluable in debugging this. There
could be other constructs to adjust similarly to cxxNewExpr that were
not covered by the tests though.
Added tests in pulse that exercises the previous bug.

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.

Summary:
Instead of emitting an ad-hoc builtin on variable declaration emit a new
metadata instruction. This allows us to remove the code matching on that
ad-hoc builtin that had to be inserted in several checkers.
Inferbo & pulse used that information meaningfully and had to undergo
some minor changes to cope with the new metada instruction.

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.

Summary:
When initialising a variable via semi-exotic means, the frontend loses
the information that the variable was initialised. For instance, it
translates:
```
struct Foo { int i; };
...
Foo s = {42};
```
as:
```
s.i := 42
```
This can be confusing for backends that need to know that `s` actually
got initialised, eg pulse.
The solution implemented here is to insert of dummy call to
`__variable_initiazition`:
```
__variable_initialization(&s);
s.i := 42;
```
Then checkers can recognise that this builtin function does what its
name says.

Summary:
Previously, the type of `trans_result` contained a list of SIL expressions.
However, most of the time we expect to get exactly one, and getting a different
number is a soft(!) error, usually returning `-1`.
This splits `trans_result` into `control`, which contains the information
needed for temporary computation (hence when we don't necessarily know the
return value yet), and a new version of `trans_result` that includes `control`,
the previous `exps` list but replaced by a single `return` expression instead,
and a couple other values that made sense to move out of `control`. This allows
some flexibility in the frontend compared to enforcing exactly one return
expression always: if they are not known yet we stick to `control` instead (see
eg `compute_controls_to_parent`).
This creates more garbage temporary identifiers, however they do not show up in
the final cfg. Instead, we see that temporary IDs are now often not
consecutive...
The most painful complication is in the treatment of `DeclRefExpr`, which was
actually returning *two* expressions: the method name and the `this` object.
Now the method name is a separate (optional) field in `trans_result`.

Summary:
The previous domain for SIOF was duplicating some work with the generic Trace
domain, and basically was a bit confused and confusing. A sink was a set of
global accesses, and a state contains a set of sinks. Then the checker has to
needlessly jump through hoops to normalize this set of sets of accesses into a
set of accesses.
The new domain has one sink = one access, as suggested by sblackshear. This simplifies
a few things, and makes the dedup logic much easier: just grab the first report
of the list of reports for a function.
We only report on the fake procedures generated to initialise a global, and the
filtering means that we keep only one report per global.
