There wasn't a good join order for the "store to global var" case in the
virtual dispatch library. When a global variable had millions of
accesses but few stores to it, the `flowsFrom` predicate would join to
see all those millions of accesses before filtering down to stores only.
The solution is to pull out a `storeIntoGlobal` helper predicate that
pre-computes which accesses are stores.
To make the code clearer, I've also pulled out a repeated chunk of code
into a new `addressOfGlobal` helper predicate.
For the kamailio/kamailio project, these are the tuple counts before:
Starting to evaluate predicate DataFlowDispatch::VirtualDispatch::DataSensitiveCall::flowsFrom#fff#cur_delta/3[3]@21a1df (iteration 3)
Tuple counts for DataFlowDispatch::VirtualDispatch::DataSensitiveCall::flowsFrom#fff#cur_delta:

58208 ~0% {3} r34 = JOIN r33 WITH Instruction::StoreInstruction::getDestinationAddress_dispred#ff_10#join_rhs AS R ON FIRST 1 OUTPUT R.<1>, true, r33.<2>
Tuple counts after:
Starting to evaluate predicate DataFlowDispatch::VirtualDispatch::DataSensitiveCall::flowsFrom#fff#cur_delta/3[3]@6073c5 (iteration 3)
Tuple counts for DataFlowDispatch::VirtualDispatch::DataSensitiveCall::flowsFrom#fff#cur_delta:

58260 ~1% {3} r23 = JOIN r17 WITH DataFlowUtil::Node::asVariable_dispred#ff AS R ON FIRST 1 OUTPUT R.<1>, true, r17.<2>
58208 ~0% {3} r24 = JOIN r23 WITH DataFlowDispatch::VirtualDispatch::storeIntoGlobal#ff_10#join_rhs AS R ON FIRST 1 OUTPUT R.<1>, true, r23.<2>
58208 ~0% {3} r25 = JOIN r24 WITH DataFlowUtil::InstructionNode#ff_10#join_rhs AS R ON FIRST 1 OUTPUT true, r24.<2>, R.<1>
Notice that the final tuple count, 58208, is the same before and after.
The kamailio/kamailio project seems to have been affected by this issue
because it has global variables to do with logging policy, and these
variables are loaded from in every place where their logging macro is
used.
