scheck: add a symbolic checker
Some instruction simplifications can be quite tricky and thus easy to
get wrong. Often, they also are hard to test (for example, you can
test it with a few input values but of course not all combinations).
I'm used to validate some of these with an independent tool
(Alive cfr. [1], [2]) which is quite neat but has some issues:
1) This tool doesn't work with Sparse's IR or C source but it needs to
have the tests written in its own language (very close to LLVM's IR).
So it can be used to test if the logic of a simplification but
not if implemented correctly.
2) This tool isn't maintained anymore (has some bugs too) and it's
successor (Alive2 [3]) is not quite as handy to me (I miss the
pre-conditions a lot).
So, this patch implement the same idea but fully integrated with
Sparse. This mean that you can write a test in C, let Sparse process
and simplify it and then directly validate it and not only for
a few values but symbolically, for all possible values.
Note: Of course, this is not totally stand-alone and depends on
an external library for the solver (Boolector, see [4], [5]).
Note: Currently, it's just a proof of concept and, except the
included tests, it's only very slightly tested (and untested
with anything more complex than a few instructions).
