This commit does a lot of stuff all at once, so here are the main
highlights:
In `TypeTracker.qll`, we change `StepSummary::step` to step only between
source nodes. Because reads and writes of global variables happen in two
different (jump) steps, this requires the intermediate
`ModuleVariableNode` to _also_ be a `LocalSourceNode`, and we therefore
modify the charpred for that class accordingly. (This also means
changing a few of the tests to account for these new source nodes.)
In addition, we change `TypeTracker::step` to likewise step between
local source nodes.
Next, to enable the use of the `track` convenience method on nodes, we
add some pragmas to `TypeTracker::step` that prevent bad joins from
occurring. With this, we can eliminate all of the manual type tracker
join predicates.
Next, we observe that because `StepSummary::step` now uses `flowsTo`, it
automatically encapsulates all local-flow steps. In particular this
means we do not have to use `typePreservingStep` in `smallstep`, but can
use `jumpStep` directly. A similar observation applies to
`TypeTracker::smallstep`.
Having done this, we no longer need `typePreservingStep`, so we get rid
of it.
This turned out to be fairly simple. Given an import such as
```python
from foo.bar.baz import quux
```
we create an API-graph node for each valid dotted prefix of
`foo.bar.baz`, i.e. `foo`, `foo.bar`, and `foo.bar.baz`. For these, we
then insert nodes in the API graph, such that `foo` steps to `foo.bar`
along an edge labeled `bar`, etc.
Finally, we only allow undotted names to hang off of the API-graph
root. Thus, `foo` will have a `moduleImport` edge off of the root, and
a `getMember` edge for `bar` (which in turn has a `getMember` edge for
`baz`).
Relative imports are explicitly ignored.
Finally, this commit also adds inline tests for a variety of ways of
importing modules, including a copy of the "import-helper" tests (with
a few modifications to allow a single annotation per line, as these
get rather long quickly!).
