Summary:
The issue type `ZERO_EXECUTION_TIME` actually corresponds to bottom state but has been mistakenly used to mean
- unreachable nodes (program never reaching exit state)
- having zero cost (e.g. for allocations).
Note that, for execution costs, the latter doesn't make sense since we always incur a unit cost for the start node. Hence, a function with empty body will have unit cost. For allocations or IO however, we only incur costs for specific primitives, so a function with no allocations/IO could have a zero cost. However, there is no point reporting functions with zero cost as a specific issue type. Instead, what we want to track is the former, i.e. functions whose cost becomes 0 due to program never reaching exit state.
This diff aims to split these cases into two by only reporting on the latter and adds traces to bottom/unreachable cost by creating a special category in polynomials.
Next diff will rename `ZERO_XXX` to `XXX_UNREACHABLE_AT_EXIT`.

> We don't report when the cost is Top as it corresponds to subsequent 'don't know's. Instead, we
> report Top cost only at the top level per function
The previous code just ignored top costed nodes, so it was able to report a non-top cost that was
from another node. For example,
```
void foo() {
linear-cost();
top-cost();
}
```
It reported inconsistent reports: `EXPENSIVE_EXECUTION_TIME` with a linear cost and
`INFINITE_EXECUTION_TIME` at the same time.
This diff fixes it not to report `EXPENSIVE_EXECUTION_TIME` when there is a node with the top cost.

Summary:
There was a precision loss during the substitution of array block. For example:
Callee's abstract memory includes an array block as follows, where `a` is a parameter.
```
a.elements -> { a.elements[*] with a.elements.size }
```
Callers' abstract memory includes a pointer that may point to multiple array blocks.
```
c -> { x, y }
x.elements -> { x.elements[*] with x.elements.size }
y.elements -> { y.elements[*] with y.elements.size }
```
When the callee is called with the parameter `c`, the callees memory is substituted to:
```
x.elements -> { x.elements[*] with top , y.elements[*] with top }
y.elements -> { x.elements[*] with top , y.elements[*] with top }
```
because `a.elements[*]` was substituted to `{ x.elements[*] , y.elements[*] }`
and `a.elements.size` was substituted to `top ( = x.elements.size join y.elements.size )`.
This diff tries to keep the precision in the specific case, not to join the sizes of array blocks.
So now the same callee's abstract memory is substituted to:
```
x.elements -> { x.elements[*] with x.elements.size }
y.elements -> { y.elements[*] with y.elements.size }
```

Summary:
Let's introduce a set of new cost analysis issue types that are raised when the function is statically determined to run on the UI thread. For this, we rely on the existing `runs_on_ui_thread` check that is developed for RacerD. We also update the cost summary and `jsonbug.cost_item` to include whether a method is on the ui thread so that we don't repeatedly compute this at diff time for complexity increase issues.
Note that `*_UI_THREAD` cost issues are assumed to be more strict than `*_COLD_START` reports at the moment. Next, we can also consider adding a new issue type that combines both such as `*_UI_THREAD_AND_COLD_START` (i.e. for methods that are both on cold start and run on ui thread).

This diff tries more narrowing during analysis in order to get preciser results on nested loops.
In the widening phase, it does narrowing a loop right after its widening, for each loops. In general, this may make the widening phase non-terminating because it keeps the abstract state from monotonely increasing to the fixed point in a finite number of iterations. To avoid that situation, this diff applies the narrowing only when the first visit of the loop in the widening phase.

Summary:
This diff adds semantics of Java function calls of enum `values` inside class initializers.
* Java class initializer function initializes a specific field `$VALUES`, which points to the list
of enum values.
* The `values` function of enum class returns the value of `$VALUES`.
The problem is when the `values` function is called inside the class initializer, for example:
```
enum Color {
RED,
GREEN,
BLUE;
static {
for (Color c : Color.values()) {}
}
}
```
This introduces a recursive dependency: the class initializer calls `Color.values` and the function
returns `Color.$VALUES` the value of which should be initialized in the class initializer.
To address the problem, this diff finds the value of `$VALUES` in its abstract memory when
`values` is called inside the class initializer.

Summary:
This diff adopts an array length evaluation function that is conservative. It is useful when our
domain cannot express length result precisely.
For example, suppose there is an array pointer `arr_locs` that may point to two arrays `a` and `b`,
and their lengths are `a.length` and `b.length` (symbols), respectively. Using the usual
evaluation, our current domain cannot express `a.length join b.length` (join of two symbolic
values), so it returns top.
In this case, we can use the conservative function intead. It evaluates the length as `[0,
a.length.ub + b.length.ub]`, since we know every array length is positive. The result is not
precise, but better than top.

Summary:
This diff tries to narrowing the fixpoint of outermost loops, so that over-approximated widened values do not flow to the following code.
Problem: There are two phases for finding a fixpoint, widening and narrowing. First, it finds a fixpoint with widening, in function level. After that, it finds a fixpoint with narrowing. A problem is that sometimes an overly-approximated, imprecise, values by widening are flowed to the following loops. They are hard to narrow in the narrowing phase because there is a cycle preventing it.
To mitigate the problem, it tries to do narrowing, in loop level, right after it found a fixpoint of a loop. Thus, it narrows before the widened values are flowed to the following loops. In order to guarantee the termination of the analysis, this eager narrowing is applied only to the outermost loops.

In the cost checker, the range of selected control variables are used to estimate the number of loop iteration. However, sometimes the ranges of control variables are not related to how many times the loop iteration. This diff strengthens the condition for them as:

2. integers constructed from `+` or `-`
3. integers constructed from `*`
For the last one, the loop iteration is likely to be log scale of the range of the control variable:
