    analyzer: decls are not on the heap
    
    Whilst debugging the remaining state explosion in PR analyzer/93355
    I noticed that half of the states at an exploding program point had:
      'malloc': {'&buf': 'non-heap'}
    whereas the other half didn't, presumably depending on whether the path
    to each enode had used this local buffer:
      char buf[400];
    
    This patch tweaks malloc_state_machine::get_default_state to be smarter
    about this, so that we can implicitly treat pointers to decls as
    non-heap, preventing pointless differences between sm_state_map
    instances.  With that, all of the states in question have equal (empty)
    malloc sm-state - though the state explosion continues for other reasons.
    
    gcc/analyzer/ChangeLog:
            PR analyzer/93355
            * sm-malloc.cc (malloc_state_machine::get_default_state): Look at
            the base region when considering pointers.  Treat pointers to
            decls as being non-heap.
