C++: Fix performance of unchecked leap year query
This query used `getASuccessor()` on the CFG, which worked in many cases
but became quadratic on certain projects including PostgreSQL and
MySQL. The problem was that there was just enough context for magic to
apply to the transitive closure, but the use of magic meant that the
fast transitive closure algorithm wasn't used. In projects where the
magic had little effect, that led to the
`#ControlFlowGraph::ControlFlowNode::getASuccessor_dispred#bfPlus`
predicate taking quadratic time and space.
This commit changes the query to use basic blocks to find successors,
which is much faster because (1) there are many more `ControlFlowNode`s
than `BasicBlocks`, and (2) the optimizer does not apply magic but uses
fast transitive closure instead.
Behavior changes slightly in the `isUsedInCorrectLeapYearCheck` case: we
now accept a `yfacheck` that comes _before_ `yfa` if they are in the
same basic block. I don't think that matters in practice.1 parent 46d7792 commit 21c6340
