Subject: [PATCH] [analyzer] Correct crash in Z3 wrapper

If a UnarySymExpr with an arithmetic negation of a logical operation
to obtain a SMTRefExpr, the Z3 engine will crash. Since an arithmetic
negation of a logical operation makes no sense and has no effect, the
arithmetic negation is detected and removed to avoid the crash in Z3.

This shows up following this C snippet

  1: void bb(int a) {
  2:  if (-(&c && a)) {
  3:     int *d;
  4:   *d; // expected-warning{{Dereference of undefined pointer value}}
  5:  }
  6: }

Line 2 is expressed as SymExpr -((reg_$1<int a>) != 0) , which is then
attempted to be converted to SMTRefExpr (not (= reg_$1 #x00000000)). This
does not make sense to Z3 since a logical expression cannot be
arithmetically negated.

A solution is to detect that the result of a comparison is attempted to
be arithmetically negated and remove that arithmetic negation since
the negation of a bool is the same as the positive of a bool. Bool's
have no sign, they are only True or False.
