C++ IR: Don't propagate GVN through non-exact Copy
The `ValueNumbering` library is supposed to propagate value numberings
through a `CopyInstruction` only when it's _congruent_, meaning it must
have exact overlap with its source. A `CopyInstruction` can be a
`LoadInstruction`, a `StoreInstruction`, or a `CopyValueInstruction`.
The latter is also a `UnaryInstruction`, and the value numbering rule
for `UnaryInstruction` applied to it as well.
This meant that value numbering would propagate even through a
non-congruent `CopyValueInstruction`. That's semantically wrong but
probably only an issue in very rare circumstances, and it should get
corrected when we change the definition of `getUnary` to require
congruence.
What's worse is the performance implications. It meant that the value
numbering IPA witness could take two different paths through every
`CopyValueInstruction`. If multiple `CopyValueInstruction`s were
chained, this would lead to an exponential number of variable numbers
for the same `Instruction`, and we would run out of time and space
while performing value numbering.
This fixes the performance of `ValueNumbering.qll` on
https://github.com/asterisk/asterisk, although this project might also
require a separate change for fixing an infinite loop in the IR constant
analysis.1 parent 46d7792 commit da13dc6
