LOG: [analyzer] Clean up evalBind, fix bad logic (#196313)

This commit refactors `ExprEngine::evalBind` to eliminate the use of a
`NodeBuilder` and fix incorrect logic that was apparently introduced
because the `NodeBuilder` had obfuscated the underlying set operations.

In the special case when the engine is binding to an `Unknown` or
`Undefined` memory location, with the old code on each execution path
_either_ only the `check::Bind` checkers _or_ only the pointer escape
checkers were invoked. This commit ensures that on each execution path
_both_ the `check::Bind` checkers _and then_ the pointer escape checkers
get a chance to activate.

I'm pretty sure that the bad logic did not cause incorrect behavior of
the analyzer, because there are no `checkBind` checkers that generate
non-sink transitions when the location is `Unknown` or `Undefined`.

I also added an assertion that the location argument of `evalBind`
cannot be a `NonLoc`, because this is a common sense precondition, seems
to be actually true and makes it easier to reason about the behavior of
this function.
