Summary:
The computation of provable reachability through the heap currently
uses a set of variables whose values are either determined by the
desired roots or by the heap constraints. This requires globals to be
treated as variables. In preparation for distinguishing globals from
variables, this diff changes the reachability computation to use a set
of atomic terms instead of variables.

Summary:
LLVM and Llair use a form of records, in particular for values of
constant structs and arrays. In Llair, these use standard `select` and
`update` operations a la McCarthy's theory of functional arrays, with
a compact `record` operation for constructing complete records. This
is fine and logically well-understood. The issue is that once
constructed, these values are accessed using instructions that (may)
operate over byte-ranges, rather than struct member indices. The
backend uses a theory of sequences to represent such values (the
contents of memory). So some code depends on high fidelity
interoperation between these two views.
This diff resolves this by removing the record theory from the backend
and instead encoding them using the sequence theory. The approach
taken keeps records in Llair and translates them to sequences in
Llair_to_Fol. This choice is made since the encoding into the sequence
theory involves terms that do not have types that are expressible in
terms of the source types. In particular, `(update r i e)`, is encoded
as the concatenation of the prefix of `r` up to the offset of index
`i`, followed by `e` (possibly with padding), and then the suffix of
`r` from index `i+1` on. The prefix and suffix sequences do not
necessarily have source-expressible types.

Summary:
The support for recursive references to globals from within their
initializers is enough to handle all the cases of recursive structs
that have been encountered so far. Therefore this diff removes the
complication of recursive records entirely.
