Summary:
We supported globals as sources before, but we did so by allowing ClangTrace etc. to match against any access path in the footprint of the trace.
This is very powerful/flexible, but it's ultimately not a good idea because it leads to traces that are hard to read.
This is because a footprint source doesn't have any information about its provenance: we might know that the value came from a global, but we don't know where the read occurred.
The mechanism for handling procedure calls as sources already knows how to solve this problem.
This diff implements globals as sources as a special case of procedure call sources instead.
This will give us much nicer traces with full provenance of the read from the global.

Summary:
In looking at summaries that Quandary took a long time to compute, one thing I notice frequently is redundancy in the footprint sources (e.g., I might see `Footprint(x), Footprint(x.f), Footprint(x*)`).
`sudo perf top` indicates that joining big sets of sources is a major performance bottleneck, and a large number of footprint sources is surely a big part of this (since we expect the number of non-footprint sources to be small).
This diff addresses the redundancy issue by using a more complex representation for a set of sources. The "known" sources are still in a set, but the footprint sources are now represented as a set of access paths (via an access trie).
The access path trie is a minimal representation of a set of access paths, so it would represent the example above as a simple `x*`.
This should make join/widen/<= faster and improve performance

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).

fbshipit-source-id: 26b3b2b
Summary:
Previously, we recorded direct sinks as sinks and transitive sinks as passthroughs. This makes it difficult to create an expanded interprocedural trace when recording an error because we can't distinguish between sinks (which we want to expand) and passthroughs (which we don't). This diff changes recording of sinks so that a sink is now the *last* function in a trace to call a sink. To find out what the original sink was, the summary for the transitive sink in the trace will now need to be (recursively) expanded until we bottom out in the original sink.
Will do the same for sources in a follow-up diff.

Summary:
Needed to support upcoming diff(s) that change the nature of sources/sinks in a trace. Today they are the *original* source/sink, but in the future they will be the *transitive* source/sink (last procedure to return a source/call a sink).
This new convention will make the `returnAllSources`/`callAllSinks` form of these tests not so useful, since `returnAllSources`/`callAllSinks` will now show up as a single source/sink in the trace (at least without expanding the trace). By making these tests intraprocedural, we can make sure that we're still testing everything that we want to.
