Alessandro Di Federico c8998cdece StackAnalysis: election of return SP value
Any stack pointer value greater than or equal to the original one used
to be OK for stack analysis to recognize an instruction as a
return. This commit changes this policy by collecting the value of the
stack pointer on all the return points and, at the end, elect a final
stack pointer value. All non-compliant returns are marked a
`BranchType::BrokenReturn`. The function is now considered fake only if
all the return instructions agree on a specific value of the stack
pointer, and it's lower than the original one.

* Drop `BranchType::IndirectTail`.
* `s/BranchType::FunctionSummary/BranchType::RegularFunction/`.

Alessandro Di Federico 9b070d8856 SA: use deque were appropriate
In certain locations we were using a `std::vector`, taking a reference
to it, adding elements and ending up in a reference invalidation issue.

This commit replaces those `std::vectors` with `std::deque` which do not
present this issue.

Alessandro Di Federico 5dc8056b8c Introduce enforce-abi pass
This commit introduces the `enforce-abi` pass, which consumes the
information provided by the ABI analysis and enforces them in the
isolated functions adding actual arguments.

This commit also rewrites the logic of `ResultsPool::finalize` and
changes the semantic of `Yes` statements on arguments to `YesOrDead`.

Alessandro Di Federico 2e241acae3 Introduce SA-based ABIDetection and FBD passes
This commit drops the old FunctionBoundariesDetectionPass and introduces
a new one based on the results provided by the StackAnalysis. A very
similar pass, the ABIDetectionPass, is now available to offer the
results of the ABI analysis too.

These two new passes are a thin shim depending on the appropriate
version of the StackAnalysis (with or withour ABI anlysis) and simply
call `serializeMetadata`, which decorates the LLVM IR with the requested
information.

In addition to drop the old analysis, this commit also isolates the
function boundaries detection pass from `revamb` making it available as
a library only.

Alessandro Di Federico ac5dea43b4 Reduce exceptions thrown (e.g., due to tail calls)
In function isolation, every time we met a jump to an unexpected basic
block (i.e., a basic block that is not part of the current function), we
used to throw an exception. However this is unnecessary since oftentimes
it is sufficient to call the `function_dispatcher` or even perform a
regular function call.

The most obvious example is the case of a direct tail call. In this
situation performing a function call to the corresponding isolated
function is the most appopriate thing to do.

Alessandro Di Federico 076aeac7f3 Move and rename all files
This commit moves around most files. The new directory structure is as
follows:

* `lib/$LIBRARY/`: contains a library, i.e., a set of `.cpp` files used
  by multiple libraries/tools.
* `include/revng/$LIBRARY/`: contains the public headers associated to
  the library in `lib/$LIBRARY/`.
* `tools/$TOOL/`: directory where all the `.cpp` files (and private
  headers) for a tool reside. Currently we have two tools: `revamb` and
  `revamb-dump`.

On top of this, all file names are now in camel case.
