[Analyzer] Constraint Manager - Calculate Effective Range for Differences
Since rL335814, if the constraint manager cannot find a range set for `A - B` (where `A` and `B` are symbols) it looks for a range for `B - A` and returns it negated if it exists. However, if a range set for both `A - B` and `B - A` is stored then it only returns the first one. If we both use `A - B` and `B - A`, these expressions behave as two totally unrelated symbols. This way we miss some useful deductions which may lead to false negatives or false positives. This tiny patch changes this behavior: if the symbolic expression the constraint manager is looking for is a difference `A - B`, it tries to retrieve the range for both `A - B` and `B - A` and if both exists it returns the intersection of range `A - B` and the negated range of `B - A`. This way every time a checker applies new constraints to the symbolic difference or to its negated it always affects both the original difference and its negated.
