Artem Dergachev 9445b89c49 [analyzer] Fix autodetection of binding types. ...

In ProgramState::getSVal(Location, Type) API which dereferences a pointer value,
when the optional Type parameter is not supplied and the Location is not typed,
type should have been guessed on a best-effort basis by inspecting the Location
more deeply. However, this never worked; the auto-detected type was instead
a pointer type to the correct type.

Fixed the issue and added various test cases to demonstrate which parts of the
analyzer were affected (uninitialized pointer argument checker, C++ trivial copy
modeling, Google test API modeling checker).

Additionally, autodetected void types are automatically replaced with char,
in order to simplify checker APIs. Which means that if the location is a void
pointer, getSVal() would read the first byte through this pointer
and return its symbolic value.

Fixes pr34305.
