[NFC][analyzer] Clarify that ExplodedGraph has only one root (#139903)

Previously the class `ExplodedGraph` had a data member called `Roots`
which could (in theory) store multiple root nodes -- but in practice
exploded graphs always had at most one root node (zero was possible for
empty and partially copied graphs) and introducing a graph with multiple
roots would've caused severe malfuncitons (e.g. in code that used the
pattern `*roots_begin()` to refer to _the_ root node).

I don't see any practical use case for adding multiple root nodes in a
single graph (this seems to be yet another of the "generalize for the
sake of generalization" decisions which were common in the early history
of the analyzer), so this commit replaces the vector `Roots` with
`ExplodedNode *Root` (which may be null when the graph is empty or under
construction).

Note that the complicated logic of `ExplodedGraph::trim` deserves a
through cleanup, but I left that for a follow-up commit.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
