analyzer: use dominator info in -Wanalyzer-deref-before-check [PR108455]

My integration testing [1] of -fanalyzer in GCC 13 is showing a lot of
diagnostics from the new -Wanalyzer-deref-before-check warning on
real-world C projects, and most of these seem to be false positives.

This patch updates the warning to make it much less likely to fire:
- only intraprocedural cases are now reported
- reject cases in which there are control flow paths to the check
  that didn't come through the dereference, by looking at BB dominator
  information.  This fixes a false positive seen in git-2.39.0's
  pack-revindex.c: load_revindex_from_disk (PR analyzer/108455), in
  which a shared "cleanup:" section checks "data" for NULL, and
  depending on how much of the function is executed "data" might or
  might not have already been dereferenced.

The counts of -Wanalyzer-deref-before-check diagnostics in [1]
before/after this patch show this improvement:
  Known false positives:    6 ->  0  (-6)
  Known true positives:     1 ->  1
  Unclassified positives: 123 -> 63 (-60)
