  svf.main() is used to model the real entry point of a C++ program, which
  initializes all global C++ objects and then call main().
  LLVM may generate two global arrays @llvm.global_ctors and @llvm.global_dtors
  that contain constructor and destructor functions for global variables. They
  are not called explicitly, so we have to add them in the svf.main function.
  The order to call these constructor and destructor functions are also
  specified in the global arrays.
  Related part in LLVM language reference:
  https://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#the-llvm-global-ctors-global-variable
  For example, given a "int main(int argc, char * argv[])", the corresponding
  svf.main will be generated as follows:
    define void @svf.main(i32, i8**, i8**) {
      entry:
        call void @ctor1()
        call void @ctor2()
        %3 = call i32 @main(i32 %0, i8** %1)
        call void @dtor1()
        call void @dtor2()
        ret void
    }

    There are three types of functions(definitions) in extapi.c:
    1. (Fun_Overwrite): Functions with "OVERWRITE" annotion:
        These functions are used to replace the corresponding function definitions in the application.
    2. (Fun_Annotation): Functions with annotation(s) but without "OVERWRITE" annotation:
        These functions are used to tell SVF to do special processing, like malloc().
    3. (Fun_Noraml): Functions without any annotation:
        These functions are used to replace the corresponding function declarations in the application.
 
 
    We will iterate over declarations (appFunDecl) and definitons (appFunDef) of functions in the application and extapi.c to do the following clone or replace operations:
    1. appFuncDecl --> Fun_Normal:     Clone the Fun_Overwrite and replace the appFuncDecl in application.
    2. appFuncDecl --> Fun_Annotation: Move the annotions on Fun_Annotation to appFuncDecl in application.
 
    3. appFunDef --> Fun_Overwrite:    Clone the Fun_Overwrite and overwrite the appFunDef in application.
    4. appFunDef --> Fun_Annotation:   Replace the appFunDef with appFunDecl and move the annotions to appFunDecl in application
