Summary:
The previous widening operator added stars to the *end* of paths that existed in `next` but not `prev`. This is not enough to ensure termination in the case where the trie is growing both deeper and wider at the same time.
The newly added test demonstrates this issue. In the code, there's an ever-growing path of the form `tmp.prev.next.prev.next...` that wasn't summarized by the previous widening operator. The new widening is much more aggressive: it replaces *any* node present in `next` but not `prev` with a `*` (rather than trying to tack a star onto the end). This fixes the issue.
This issue was causing divergence on tricky doubly-linked list code in prod.

Summary:
For now, we just support clearing the taint on a return value.
Ideally, we would associate a kind with the sanitizer and only clear taint that matches that kind.
However, it's fairly complicated to make that work properly with footprint sources.
I have some ideas about how to do it with passthroughs instead, but let's just do the simple thing for now.

Summary:
There are two pointer-related operations you can do in C++ but not Java that we need to support in taint analysis:
(1) `*formal_ptr = ...` when `formal_ptr` is a formal that's a pointer type. Java doesn't have raw pointers, so we didn't need to handle this case.
(2) Passing by reference, which Java also doesn't have (everything is pass-by-value).

Summary:
Needed because this is how the Clang frontend translates returns of non-POD, non pointer values (I think)?
Will handle the more general case of pass by reference soon.
