analyzer: remove -Wanalyzer-use-of-uninitialized-value for GCC 10
From what I can tell -Wanalyzer-use-of-uninitialized-value has not yet found a true diagnostic in real-world code, and seems to be particularly susceptible to false positives. These relate to bugs in the region_model code. For GCC 10 it seems best to remove this warning, which this patch does. Internally it also removes POISON_KIND_UNINIT. I'm working on a rewrite of the region_model code for GCC 11 that I hope will fix these issues, and allow this warning to be reintroduced. gcc/analyzer/ChangeLog: PR analyzer/94447 PR analyzer/94639 PR analyzer/94732 PR analyzer/94754 * analyzer.opt (Wanalyzer-use-of-uninitialized-value): Delete. * program-state.cc (selftest::test_program_state_dumping): Update expected dump result for removal of "uninit". * region-model.cc (poison_kind_to_str): Delete POISON_KIND_UNINIT case. (root_region::ensure_stack_region): Initialize stack with null svalue_id rather than with a typeless POISON_KIND_UNINIT value. (root_region::ensure_heap_region): Likewise for the heap.
