[refinement] iterate through unknown transfer failures to resolve

Updates the unknown transfer resolution module to iterate through the
set of blocks with unknown transfer results, attempting to refine the
unknown transfer failures recursively so that any newly discovered
blocks are also attempted (if necessary) and generating a (possibly
updated) DiscoveryState where any refined unknown transfer conditions
replace the original information.

Does not yet perform the actual refinement, just provides the
framework that would attempt to refine each unknown transfer.

-- and resolve unknown transfer classify failures. -- and resolve unknown transfer classify failures.
--
-- One of the primary refinements possible via this module is the
-- ability to determine transfer targets that were previously
-- undiscoverable.
--
-- For example (roughly tests/samples/switching.c):
--
-- > int retval(int n) {
-- > switch (n) {
-- > case 0: ...;
-- > case 1: ...;
-- > case 3: ...;
-- > default: 0;
-- > }
-- > }
--
-- In the above, the body of each case is relatively small and similar
-- to the others, so the compiler decides not to generate a series of
-- 'cmp n, VAL; jeq CASETGT' instructions, but instead computes an
-- offset based on the maximum size of each case body * n and adds
-- that to the current address.
--
-- discovery:
-- block 1 "setup": terminate with: ite r28 @default-handler @cases-handler
-- block 2 "cases-handler": calculates jump offset for case values, CLASSIFY FAILURE: unknown transfer
-- block 3 "default-handler": terminate with return
--
-- In this example, the jump offset for case values is range-limited
-- by block 1, but block 2 doesn't see that, and also because of that
-- the block(s) corresponding to the case conditions are not
-- discovered. The goal of the code in this module is to improve
-- this, using SMT analysis.
--
-- First, a What4 formula is generated for block 2 and this is
-- provided to Crucible to identify possible jump targets. The result
-- should be a nearly infinite number of targets (every "case body
-- size" offset), which Macaw could constrain to the valid text region
-- (although the jumps beyond the text region could arguably be
-- flagged as errors).
--
-- However, by adding the precursor block (block 1) and computing the
-- SMT formula for block 1 + block2, the result of the jump is only
-- the actual case targets, and thus this is a smaller solution (and
-- therefore better) than the previous step.
--
-- The algorithm should continue to iterate back through the blocks to
-- achieve better and better (i.e. smaller) solutions until reaching
-- the entry point of the function itself, or until reaching a point
-- where the solution symbolically diverges (e.g. a loop with a
-- variable exit condition).
--
-- It might be considered an optimization to simply skip the
-- iterations and try to solve from the start of the function to the
-- unknown transfer point, but if there are symbolically-divergent
-- loops in that path the result will be unconstrained (see Note 1).
--
-- In the worst case, the SMT analysis is unable to further refine the
-- information and this block is still noted as an unkown transfer, so
-- it has not worsened the analysis, even though it has not improved
-- it.
--
-- If the refinement does yield a smaller set of functions, that can
-- be identified as the valid targets from this block (e.g. a nested
-- ite), and additionally those targets should be subject to further
-- discovery by Macaw.
--
-- --------------------
-- Note 1: It's theoretically possible that the loop would affect the
-- constraints, but in practice this is fairly unrealistic. A
-- completely unbounded jump is unlikely to ever be generated for
-- valid compiled C code:
--
-- > int jumpto(int n) {
-- > (void)(*funcaddr)() = n * 32 + &jumpto; // unrealistic
-- > (*funcaddr)();
-- > }
--
-- A jump computation is generally only to target symbols known to the
-- C compiler, and while a section of code that cannot be symbolically
-- resolved (e.g. a symbolically-divergent loop) might *constrain* the
-- target set, the analysis of the portion following the loop should
-- reveal the total set of valid targets:
--
-- > int jumpfor(int n, int l) {
-- > (int)(*funcs)()[6] = { &jumptgt1, &jumptgt2, ... };
-- > int tgtnum = n % 3;
-- > for (int j = 0; j < l; j++) {
-- > if (j ^ n == 5)
-- > tgtnum *= 2;
-- > }
-- > return (*(funcs[tgtnum]))();
-- > }
--
-- In this case, we hope to discover that the target of the jumps is
-- constrained to the entries in the funcs array, even though the loop
-- cannot be evaluated.
