c75329d7b7 Python: Move metrics-related API to LegacyPointsTo module
Gets rid of the `getMetrics` methods on the `Function`, `Class`, and
`Module` classes. To access the metrics, one must first import the
`LegacyPointsTo` module, and then either change the type to
`{Function,Class,Module}Metrics` or cast to the appropriate type.

b9a5b3b628 Python: Remove points-to from SSA.ql
Happily, this was not as deeply entwined as it looked at first glance.

e09840426c Python: Get rid of points-to from Definitions.qll
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.

21e74a3f01 Python: Fully remove points-to from Flow.qll
Gets rid of a bunch of predicates relating to reachability (which
depended on the modelling of exceptions, which uses points-to), moving
them to `LegacyPointsTo`. In the process, we gained a new class
`BasicBlockWithPointsTo`.

f0465f441f Python: Get rid of some get...Object methods
This frees `Class.qll`, `Exprs.qll`, and `Function.qll` from the
clutches of points-to. For the somewhat complicated setup with
`getLiteralObject` (an abstract method), I opted for a slightly ugly but
workable solution of just defining a predicate on `ImmutableLiteral`
that inlines each predicate body, special-cased to the specific instance
to which it applies.

78c33ab55a Python: Remove points-to references from python.qll
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.

fef08afff9 Python: Remove points-to to from ControlFlowNode
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.
