This change updates the flow analysis logic for `is` and `as`
expressions so that when the language feature `sound-flow-analysis` is
enabled, the static type of the operand is compared to the type to the
right of the `is` or `as` keyword. If one of the types is non-nullable
and the other type is `Null`, then the type test is known to fail. For
an `as` expression, this means that the code path following the
expression will be marked as unreachable. For an `is` expression, this
means that any code paths that assume it evaluates to `true` will be
marked as unreachable.
Note that these new behaviors break assumptions made by three
pre-existing flow analysis tests. I was able to adjust one of the
tests ("equalityOp_end does not set reachability for `this`") to
preserve its old behavior. The other two tests became redundant, so I
removed them.
There is no behavioral change if the feature `sound-flow-analysis` is
disabled.
