since the df optim backward optim has been disabled, elimination is in a fixpoint now so elim chains are taken into account

use ghost variables instead of existential variables to avoid read / write capture problems with variable reuse

Discussion w Xavier: replace this mechanism (fragile because of non-constructive witnesses) with a ghost-variables-based mechanism

more compact assign clauses for state variables, and remove useless memory pack predicates and assertions

hopefully those are less problematic since they actually exists in the program as variables

more agressive optim propagation in spec in order to remove unecessarry existential variables that were eliminated (helps the solvers)
