thanks for your work on this (and on the rest of the stack, which I'm
still working on reviewing)

Regarding writes leading to partial dynptr stack slots, I'm regretting
not having the verifier flat-out reject this in the first place
(instead of it being allowed but internally the stack slot gets marked
as invalid) - I think it overall ends up being more confusing to end
users, where there it's not obvious at all that writing to the dynptr
on the stack automatically invalidates it. I'm not sure whether it's
too late from a public API behavior perspective to change this or not.
ANyways, assuming it is too late, I left a few comments below.

I don't think we need these two lines. mark_stack_slots_dynptr() is
called only in the case where an uninitialized dynptr is getting
initialized; is_dynptr_reg_valid_uninit() will have already been
called prior to this (in check_func_arg()), where
is_dynptr_reg_valid_uninit() will have checked that for any
uninitialized dynptr, the stack slot has not already been marked as
STACK_DYNTPR. Maybe I'm missing something in this analysis? What are
your thoughts?

I think it'd be cleaner if we combined this and
unmark_stack_slots_dynptr() into one function. The logic is pretty
much the same except for if the reference state should be released.

If the stack slot is a dynptr, I think we can just return after this
call, else we do extra work and mark the stack slots as STACK_MISC
(3rd case in the if statement).

Instead of calling destroy_stack_slots_dynptr() in
check_stack_write_fixed_off() and check_stack_write_var_off(), I think
calling it from check_stack_write() would be a better place. I think
that'd be more efficient as well where if it is a write to a dynptr,
we can directly return after invalidating the stack slot.

I think we can just use get_spi(i) here

break?
