Summary:
Unknown functions may create false positives as well as false negatives
for Pulse. Let's consider that unknown functions behave "functionally",
or at least that a functional behaviour is a possible behaviour for
them: when called with the same parameter values, they should return the
same value.
This is implemented purely in the arithmetic domain by recording
`v_return = f_unknown(v1, v2, ..., vN)` for each call to unknown
functions `f_unknown` with values `v1`, `v2`, ..., `vN` (and return
`v_return`). The hope is that this will create more false negatives than
false positives, as several FPs have been observed on real code that
would be suppressed with this heuristic.
The other effect this has on reports is to record hypotheses made on the
return values of unknown functions into the "pruned" part of formulas,
which inhibits reporting on paths whose feasibility depends on the
return value of unknown functions (by making these issues latent
instead). This should allow us to control the amount of FPs until we
model more functions.

Summary:
Add a new `PathContext.t` component to the abstract state. For now it
tracks only the current "timestamp" of symbolic execution inside the
procedure, i.e. which step of symbolic execution we are in (bumped by 1
each time we've executed one instruction). In the future this will also
hold, eg, which conditionals we've been through on the path (for
reporting traces with that information).
Most of the diff is about propagating the path context through many of
the APIs.
We use timestamps only in `MustBeValid` attributes to report the first
incorrect access in a function call for now.

Summary:
This makes reports more readable: they were all at the end of functions,
currently.
This is actually quite tricky to do as it involves detecting which
locations are unreachable.
Some of this logic can/should probably be shared with
`AbductiveDomain.discard_unreachable` but at the moment that's not the
case.

Summary:
Turns out the mistake was pretty simple: we just forgot to keep the
history of the return value in the callee and add it to the caller's.

Summary:
When garbage-collecting addresses we would also remove their attributes.
But even though the addresses are no longer allocated in the heap, they
might show up in the formula and so we need to remember facts about
them.
This forces us to detect leaks closer to the point where addresses are
deleted from the heap, in AbductiveDomain.ml. This is a nice refactoring
in itself: doing so fixes some other FNs where we sometimes missed leak
detection on dead addresses.
This also makes it unecessary to simplify InstanceOf eagerly when
variables get out of scope.
Some new {folly,std}::optionals false positives that either are similar to existing ones or involve unmodelled smart pointers.

Summary:
This diff avoids dereference of C struct, in its frontend and its semantics of Pulse. In SIL, C
struct is not first-class value, thus dereferencing on it does not make sense.

Summary: Added a new issue type for sending a message to nil when its return type is non-POD. To distinguish these issues from other nullptr dereference issues, we extend the `MustBeValid` attribute to contain the reason of why an address must be valid. For now a reason can only have `SelfOfNonPODReturnMethod` as it's value, but in the future we will use it for other nullability issue types, such as nil insertion into collections.

Summary:
In Pulse, it usually havoc the actual parameters to unknown functions. However, it did not do that when the lengths of actuals and formals mismatch, which may happen when the frontend doesn't have enough information about procedures.
This diff havoc the actual parameters, also when there is mismatch between lengths of actuals and formals.
