See https://docs.python.org/3/library/compression.zstd.html for
information about this library.
As far as I can tell, the `zstd` library is not vulnerable to things
like ZipSlip, but it _could_ be vulnerable to a decompression bomb
attack, so I extended those models accordingly.
In hindsight, having a `.getMetrics()` method that just returns `this`
is somewhat weird. It's possible that it predates the existence of the
inline cast, however.
Fixed 73 .ql query files where the @name metadata contained an ending period.
This ensures consistency with the CodeQL query metadata style guidelines.
For whatever reason, the CFG node for exceptions and exception groups
was placed with the points-to code. (Probably because a lot of the
predicates depended on points-to.)
However, as it turned out, two of the SSA modules only depended on
non-points-to properties of these nodes, and so it was fairly
straightforward to remove the imports of `LegacyPointsTo` for those
modules.
In the process, I moved the aforementioned CFG node types into
`Flow.qll`, and changed the classes in the `Exceptions` module to the
`...WithPointsTo` form that we introduced elsewhere.
Turns out the `ImportTime` module (despite living in
`semmle.python.types` does not actually depend on points-to, so some of
the `LegacyPointsTo` imports could be replaced or removed.
For now, these have just been made into `private` imports. After doing
this, I went through all of the (now not compiling) files and added in
private imports to the modules that they actually depended on.
I also added an explicit import of `LegacyPointsTo` (even though it may
be unnecessary) in cases where the points-to dependency was somewhat
surprising (and one we want to get rid of). This was primarily inside
the various SSA layers.
For modules inside `semmle.python.{types, objects, pointsto}` I did not
bother, as these are fairly clearly related to points-to.
Moves the existing points-to predicates to the newly added class
`ControlFlowNodeWithPointsTo` which resides in the `LegacyPointsTo`
module.
(Existing code that uses these predicates should import this module, and
references to `ControlFlowNode` should be changed to
`ControlFlowNodeWithPointsTo`.)
Also updates all existing points-to based code to do just this.
