The `overlappingVariableMemoryLocations` predicate was a helper
predicate introduced to fix a join-order issue in
`overlappingIRVariableMemoryLocations`. Unfortunately it caused a
performance issue of its own because it could grow too large. On the
small project (38MB zip) awslabs/s2n there were 181M rows in
`overlappingVariableMemoryLocations`, and it took 134s to evaluate.
The fix is to collapse the two predicates into one and fix join ordering
by including an extra column in the predicates being joined.
In addition, some parameters were reordered to avoid the overhead of
auto-generated `join_rhs` predicates.
