The aliased SSA code was assuming that, for every automatic variable, there would be at least one memory access that reads or writes the entire variable. We've encountered a couple cases where that isn't true due to extractor issues. As a workaround, we now always create the `VariableMemoryLocation` for every local variable. I've also added a sanity test to detect this condition in the future. Along the way, I had to fix a perf issue in the PrintIR code. When determining the ID of a result based on line number, we were considering all `Instruction`s generated for a particular line, regardless of whether they were all in the same `IRFunction`. In addition, the predicate had what appeared to be a bad join order that made it take forever on large snapshots. I've scoped it down to just consider `Instruction`s in the same function, and outlined that predicate to fix the join order issue. This causes some numbering changes, but they're for the better. I don't think there was actually any nondeterminism there before, but now the numbering won't depend on the number of instantiations of a template, either.
