Switches the trunk dataflow library and all in-tree consumers
(frameworks, ApiGraphs, Concepts, regexp, security customisations,
test harness) from the legacy Flow.qll/ESSA stack to the new
shared-CFG facade (Cfg.qll) and the ESSA-shaped adapter on the
shared-SSA library (SsaImpl.qll).
Highlights:
* DataFlowPublic/Private/Dispatch, Attributes, VariableCapture,
IterableUnpacking, ImportResolution, ImportStar, LocalSources,
TaintTrackingPrivate, MatchUnpacking, TypeTrackingImpl,
SsaImpl, Builtins all now qualify CFG/SSA references with
Cfg:: / SsaImpl:: and stop pulling in semmle.python.essa.*.
* AstNodeImpl.qll/Cfg.qll: ImportMember exposes its inner
ImportExpr, DefinitionNode.getValue covers Alias / AnnAssign /
AugAssign / AssignExpr / For-target / Parameter-default,
ForNode is treated as an expression node, AnnotatedExitNode is
canonical, and BoolExprNode.getAnOperand drops the dominance
constraint that did not hold for short-circuit BBs.
* SsaImpl.qll: parameters always get a ParameterDefinition (so
unused parameters still have SSA defs), scope-entry defs for
module globals require an actual store somewhere, scope-exit
has a synthetic use so reaching-defs survives to module
boundary, and the legacy SsaSourceVariable / EssaVariable
surface (getName, getScope, getAUse, getASourceUse,
getAnImplicitUse) is reinstated for downstream queries.
* DataFlowPublic.qll: GuardNode redesigned around the new
structural outcome nodes (isAfterTrue / isAfterFalse). The
legacy ConditionBlock + flipped indirection is gone;
controlsBlock walks UP through 'not' / '==True' / 'is False'
etc. via outcomeOfGuard, accumulating polarity cleanly. Only
BarrierGuard<...> is preserved as public API.
* ModuleVariableNode.getAWrite and LocalFlow::definitionFlowStep
bypass SSA and consult Cfg::NameNode.defines /
Cfg::DefinitionNode.getValue directly, so that write defs
pruned by shared SSA (because the variable has no in-scope
read) still produce dataflow steps.
* Frameworks + downstream consumers: replace
EssaVariable.hasDefiningNode, getAReturnValueFlowNode,
Parameter.getDefault, Scope.getEntryNode / getANormalExit etc.
with CFG-side bridges through Cfg::ControlFlowNode.
The legacy Flow.qll / Essa.qll stack is untouched and remains
available for queries that import it directly.

Since using `.DictionaryElementAny` doesn't actually do a store on the
source, (so we can later follow any dict read-steps).
I added the ensure_tainted steps to highlight that the result of the
WHOLE expression ends up "tainted", and that we don't just mark
`os.environ` as the source without further flow.
This is partly motivated by the MaD tests which looks much better now in
my opinion.
I also wanted this for testing argument passing. In Python we're
adopting the same argument positions as Ruby has
[here](4f3751dfea/ruby/ql/lib/codeql/ruby/dataflow/internal/DataFlowDispatch.qll (L508-L540))
So it would be nice if `arg[keyword foo]=...` was allowed, without
having to transform the `toString()` result of an argument position into
something without a space.
This enables us to keep the framework modeling tests under `/frameworks`
folder
I had hoped to use `mad-sink[<kind>]` syntax, but that was not allowed
:(
Maybe it oculd be allowed in the future, but for now I'll stick with the
more ugly solution of `mad-sink__<kind>`
