When tracking variable types, instructions that modify a pointer value in an untracked way can lead to incorrect type propagation. To prevent this, invalidate the register state when encountering such instructions. This change invalidates pointer types for various arithmetic and bitwise operations that current pointer offset tracking doesn't support, like imul, shl, and, inc, etc. A special case is added for 'xor reg, reg', which is a common idiom for zeroing a register. For this, the register state is updated to be a constant with a value of 0. This could introduce slight regressions if a variable is zeroed and then reused. This can be addressed in the future by using all DWARF locations for instruction tracking instead of only the first one.
