Jonas Jensen e523f93d91 C++: Fix inconsistent-loop-direction performance
This query seems to have been de-optimized by recent optimizer or stats
changes. On libretro/libretro-uae, the query took 1 second on a warm
cache with dist 89ad5f1 but took 9979 seconds with dist a3b9b6eb9.

The slowness was due to a Cartesian product in
`illDefined{Decr,Incr}ForStmt` between all the definitions and all the
uses of `Variable v`. This would be no problem with the right join
order, but that has apparently been lost. This commit factors out a pair
of `pragma[noinline]` helper predicates to make sure the definitions
(`v.getAnAssignedValue()`) and the uses (`v.getAnAccess()`) are queried
and filtered in separate predicates.

The performance problem can be seen in the tuple counts of this pipeline
I interrupted during evaluation of
`inconsistentLoopDirection::illDefinedDecrForStmt#ffff#shared`:
