[analyzer] Be less pessimistic about invalidation of global variables

as a result of a call.

Problem:
Global variables, which come in from system libraries should not be
invalidated by all calls. Also, non-system globals should not be
invalidated by system calls.

Solution:
The following solution to invalidation of globals seems flexible enough
for taint (does not invalidate stdin) and should not lead to too
many false positives. We split globals into 3 classes:

* immutable - values are preserved by calls (unless the specific
global is passed in as a parameter):
     A :  Most system globals and const scalars

* invalidated by functions defined in system headers:
     B: errno

* invalidated by all other functions (note, these functions may in
turn contain system calls):
     B: errno
     C: all other globals (which are not in A nor B)
