Taus 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.
