Summary:
Right now we annotate C++'s `operator new` with `noalias` attribute,
which very much is healthy for optimizations.
However as per [[ http://eel.is/c++draft/basic.stc.dynamic.allocation | `[basic.stc.dynamic.allocation]` ]],
there are more promises on global `operator new`, namely:
* non-`std::nothrow_t` `operator new` *never* returns `nullptr`
* If `std::align_val_t align` parameter is taken, the pointer will also be `align`-aligned
* ~~global `operator new`-returned pointer is `__STDCPP_DEFAULT_NEW_ALIGNMENT__`-aligned ~~ It's more caveated than that.
Supplying this information may not cause immediate landslide effects
on any specific benchmarks, but it for sure will be healthy for optimizer
in the sense that the IR will better reflect the guarantees provided in the source code.
The caveat is `-fno-assume-sane-operator-new`, which currently prevents emitting `noalias`
attribute, and is automatically passed by Sanitizers ([[ https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16386 | PR16386 ]]) - should it also cover these attributes?
The problem is that the flag is back-end-specific, as seen in `test/Modules/explicit-build-flags.cpp`.
But while it is okay to add `noalias` metadata in backend, we really should be adding at least
the alignment metadata to the AST, since that allows us to perform sema checks on it.

Summary:
When we traversed backwards on ExplodedNodes to see where processed the
given statement we `break` too early. With the current approach we do not
miss the CallExitEnd ProgramPoint which stands for an inlined call.

I.e. not after. In the c++-allocator-inlining=true mode, we need to make the
assumption that the conservatively evaluated operator new() has returned a
non-null value. Previously we did this on CXXNewExpr, but now we have to do that
before calling the constructor, because some clever constructors are sometimes
assuming that their "this" is null and doing weird stuff. We would also crash
upon evaluating CXXNewExpr when the allocator was inlined and returned null and
had a throw specification; this is UB even for custom allocators, but we still
need not to crash.
Added more FIXME tests to ensure that eventually we fix calling the constructor
for null return values.

Make sure that with c++-allocator-inlining=true we have the return value of
conservatively evaluated operator new() in the correct memory space (heap).
This is a regression/omission that worked well in c++-allocator-inlining=false.
Heap regions are superior to regular symbolic regions because they have
stricter aliasing constraints: heap regions do not alias each other or global
variables.
