577cf4a630 Shared CFG: support for-else and while-else loops
Add two default predicates to AstSig:

  default AstNode getWhileElse(WhileStmt loop) { none() }
  default AstNode getForeachElse(ForeachStmt loop) { none() }

When defined, the explicit-step rules for While/Do and Foreach
route the loop's normal-completion exits through the else block
before reaching the after-loop node:

  - WhileStmt: after-false condition -> before-else -> after-while
    (instead of directly after-while).
  - ForeachStmt: after-collection [empty] and the LoopHeader exit
    are both routed through before-else -> after-foreach.

Python's Ast module overrides the predicates to return the
synthetic BlockStmt for the orelse slot, replacing the previous
customisations in Input::step. This eliminates parallel direct
successors emitted by the previous Python-side step additions
(verified: multipleSuccessors on a CPython database goes from
1340 to 0).

Java and C# CFG tests are unaffected.

75a3168c09 Python: Ignore synthetic CFG nodes
We can only annotate the ones that correspond directly to AST nodes
anyway.

166b3226ac Python: Make CFG tests parameterised
Currently we only instantiate them with the old CFG library, but in the
future we'll want to do this with the new library as well.

66bdd22a14 Python: Add ConsecutiveTimestamps test
This one is potentially a bit iffy -- it checks for a very powerful
propetry (that implies many of the other queries), but as the test
results show, it can produce false positives when there is in fact no
problem. We may want to get rid of it entirely, if it becomes too noisy.

e21b6b9b2e Python: Add NeverReachable test
This looks for nodes annotated with `t.never` in the test that are
reachable in the CFG. This should not happen (it messes with various
queries, e.g. the "mixed returns" query), but the test shows that in a
few particular cases (involving the `match` statement where all cases
contain `return`s), we _do_ have reachable nodes that shouldn't be.

500dec3f67 Python: Add BasicBlockOrdering test
This one demonstrates a bug in the current CFG. In a dictionary
comprehension `{k: v for k, v in d.items()}`, we evaluate the value
before the key, which is incorrect. (A fix for this bug has been
implemented in a separate PR.)

29ce07c204 Python: Add some CFG-validation queries
These use the annotated, self-verifying test files to check various
consistency requirements.

Some of these may be expressing the same thing in different ways, but
it's fairly cheap to keep them around, so I have not attempted to
produce a minimal set of queries for this.

6e77a45fb3 Python: Add self-validating CFG tests
These tests consist of various Python constructions (hopefully a
somewhat comprehensive set) with specific timestamp annotations
scattered throughout. When the tests are run using the Python 3
interpreter, these annotations are checked and compared to the "current
timestamp" to see that they are in agreement. This is what makes the
tests "self-validating".

There are a few different kinds of annotations: the basic `t[4]` style
(meaning this is executed at timestamp 4), the `t.dead[4]` variant
(meaning this _would_ happen at timestamp 4, but it is in a dead
branch), and `t.never` (meaning this is never executed at all).

In addition to this, there is a query, MissingAnnotations, which checks
whether we have applied these annotations maximally. Many expression
nodes are not actually annotatable, so there is a sizeable list of
excluded nodes for that query.
