Summary:
List of things happening in this unreviewable diff:
- moved PulsePathCondition to PulseSledge
- renamed --pulse-path-conditions to --pudge
- PulsePathCondition now contains all the arithmetic of pulse
(inferbo+concrete intervals+pudge). In particular, moved arithmetic
attributes into PulsePathCondition.t. PulsePathCondition plays the
role of PulseArithmetic (combining all domains).
- added tests for a false positive involving free()
- PulseArithmetic is now just a thin wrapper around PulsePathCondition
to operate on states directly (instead of on path conditions).
- The rest is mostly moving code into PulsePathCondition (eg, from
PulseInterproc) and adjusting it.

Summary:
Replace horrible hack with ok hack.
The main difficulty in implementing the disjunctive domain is to avoid
the quadratic time complexity of executing the same disjuncts over and
over again when going around loops:
First time around a loop, assuming for example a single disjunct `d`:
```
[d]
loop body
[d1' \/ d2']
```
Second time around the same loop: the new pre will be the join of the
posts of predecessor nodes, so `old_pre \/ post(loop,old_pre)`, i.e.
`d \/ d1' \/ d2'`. Now we need to execute `loop body` again
*without running the symbolic execution of `d` again* (and the time after
that we'll want to not execute `d`, `d1'`, or `d2'`).
Horrible hack (before): Disjuncts have a boolean "visited" attached
that does its best to keep track of whether a given disjunct is old or
new. When executing a single *instruction* look at the flag and skip the
state if it's old. Of course we have no way to know for sure so it turns
out it was often wrongly re-executing old disjuncts. This was also
producing the wrong results over even simple loops: only the last
iteration would make it outside the loop for some reason. Overall, the
semantics were pretty untractable and shady at best.
New hack (this diff): only run instructions of a given *node* on
disjuncts that are not physically equal to the "pre" ones already in the
invariant map for the current node.
This gives the correct result over simple loops and a nice performance
improvement in general (probably the old heuristic was hitting the
quadratic bad case more often).

Summary:
When encountering a constant, pulse creates an abstract value (a
variable) to represent it, and remembers that it's equal to it. The
problem is that pulse doesn't yet know how to deal with the fact that
some variables are going to be equal to each other.
This hacks around this issue in the case of constants, within the same
procedure, by remembering which constants have been assigned to which
place-holder variables, and serving those variables again when the same
constant is translated again.
Limitation: this doesn't work across procedure calls as the "constant
maps" are not saved in summaries.
Something to look out for: we don't want to make `if (p == NULL)` create
a path where `p` is invalid (we only make null invalid when we see an
assignment from 0, i.e. `p = NULL;`).

Summary:
As soon as pulse detects an error, it completely stops the analysis and loses the state where the error occurred. This makes it difficult to debug and understand the state the program failed. Moreover, other analyses that might build on pulse (e.g. impurity), cannot access the error state.
This diff aims to restore and display the state at the time of the error in `PulseExecutionState` along with the diagnostic by extending it as follows:
```
type exec_state =
| represents the state at the program point that caused an error *)
```
As a result, since we don't immediately stop the analysis as soon as we find an error, we detect both errors in conditional branches simultaneously (see test result changes for examples).
NOTE: We need to extend `PulseOperations.access_result` to keep track of the failed state as follows:
```
type 'a access_result = ('a, Diagnostic.t * t [denoting the exit state] ) result
```

Summary:
This diff lifts the `PulseAbductiveDomain.t` in `PulseExecutionState` by tracking whether the program continues the analysis normally or exits unusually (e.g. by calling `exit` or `throw`):
```
type exec_state =
| ContinueProgram of PulseAbductiveDomain.t (** represents the state at the program point *)
| ExitProgram of PulseAbductiveDomain.t
(** represents the state originating at exit/divergence. *)
```
Now, Pulse's actual domain is tracked by `PulseExecutionState` and as soon as we try to analyze an instruction at `ExitProgram`, we simply return its state.
The aim is to recover the state at the time of the exit, rather than simply ignoring them (i.e. returning empty disjuncts). This allows us to get rid of some FNs that we were not able to detect before. Moreover, it also allows the impurity analysis to be more precise since we will know how the state changed up to exit.
TODO:
- Impurity analysis needs to be improved to consider functions that simply exit as impure.
- The next goal is to handle error state similarly so that when pulse finds an error, we recover the state at the error location (and potentially continue to analyze?).
Disclaimer: currently, we handle throw statements like exit (as was the case before). However, this is not correct. Ideally, control flow from throw nodes follows catch nodes rather than exiting the program entirely.

- When substituting arithmetic constraints, we refine arithmetic information (both concrete intervals and inferbo), which can lead to inconsistent states. Instead of recording the new arithmetic facts by returning a new current state, just act as a map on attributes. This is to enable doing the point above.

1. Split most of the arithmetic reasoning to PulseArithmetic.ml. This
doesn't need to be reviewed thoroughly because an upcoming diff
changes the domain from just `EqualTo of Const.t` to an interval domain!
2. When going through a prune node intra-procedurally, abduce arithmetic
facts to the pre (instead of just propagating them). This is the "assume
as assert" trick used by biabduction 1.0 too and allows to propagate
arithmetic constraints to callers.
3. Use 2 when applying summaries by pruning specs whose preconditions
have un-satisfiable arithmetic constraints.
This changes one of the tests! Pulse now does a bit more work to find
the false positive, as can be seen in the longer trace.

Summary:

There are 3 ways pulse tracks history. This is at least one too many. So
far, we have:
1. "histories": a humble list of "events" like "assigned here", "returned from call", ...
2. "interproc actions": a structured nesting of calls with a final "action", eg "f calls g calls h which does blah"
3. "traces", which combine one history with one interproc action
This diff gets rid of interproc actions and makes histories include
"nested" callee histories too. This allows pulse to track and display
how a value got assigned across function calls.
Traces are now more powerful and interleave histories and interproc
actions. This allows pulse to track how a value is fed into an action,
for instance performed in callee, which itself creates some more
(potentially now interprocedural) history before going to the next step
of the action (either another call or the action itself).
This gives much better traces, and some examples are added to showcase
this.
There are a lot of changes when applying summaries to keep track of
histories more accurately than was done before, but also a few
simplifications that give additional evidence that this is the right
concept.

instance either or both of these ideas could be explored:

equalities in the pre are not satisfied

[apologies for the unreviewable diff...]
Get rid of HIL expressions in pulse. This finishes the HIL -> SIL
migration. The first step made pulse start from SIL instructions but
would translate most accesses to HIL to re-use most of the existing
pulse code. This diff gets rid of the intermediate translation of SIL
expressions to HIL expressions.
Big changes:
1. `PulseOperations` mostly rewritten, driven by using `Exp.t` instead of `HilExp.AccessExpression.t` for everything.
2. Stop trying to reverse-engineer what addresses mean in terms of
access paths from program variables. Rely on the trace pointing at
the right places in the code to be enough. This is because it wasn't
that useful (and could even be misleading when wrong) but could be
prohibitively expensive in degenerate cases (eg nodes with tens of
thousands of successive array accesses...)
3. `PulseAbductiveDomain.apply_post` now returns the computed return
value instead of recording it itself.
4. Change of vocabulary: `materialize` -> `eval`, `crumb` -> `event`
5. Function calls arguments are now evaluated prior to doing anything
else, which saves everything else from having to (remember to) do
that. In particular, this changes how models look quite a bit.

```

*&y = n$0
```
HIL tries hard to forget about intermediate variables and shows instead
```
_ = delete(&x)
*&y = *&x.f
```
Oops, that's a use-after-delete, whereas the original code was safe.
While it's easy to write SIL programs that are completely unsound for
HIL, they are not generated very often from the frontends. In fact, the
problem became apparent only when making the clang frontend translate
C++ temporaries destructors, which produces the situation above
routinely.
This diff makes the minimal amount of change to make Pulse build and
produce equivalent results (minus HIL bugs) starting from SIL instead of
HIL. The reporting sucks for now because we need to translate SIL
temporaries back into program access paths. This is done in the next
diff.
