[analyzer] Improve messaging in security.VAList (#157846)

Previously the checker `security.VAList` only tracked the set of the
inintialized `va_list` objects; this commit replaces this with a mapping
that can distinguish the "uninitialized" `va_list` objects from the
"already released" ones. Moreover, a new "unknown" state is introduced
to replace the slightly hacky solutions that checked the `Symbolic`
nature of the region.

In addition to sligthly improving the messages, this commit also
prepares the ground for a follow-up change that would introduce an
"indeterminate" state (which needs `va_end` but cannot be otherwise
used) to model the requirements of SEI CERT rule MSC39-C, which states:

> The va_list may be passed as an argument to another function, but
> calling va_arg() within that function causes the va_list to have an
> indeterminate value in the calling function. As a result, attempting
> to read variable arguments without reinitializing the va_list can have
> unexpected behavior.

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.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM

Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.

For information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.
