This PR addresses the excessive resource usage introduced in bb6f9aa.

As the amount of unrolling grows exponentially with the number of nested loops, we determined what would be a reasonable amount of nestings with a 5s run on the sv-benchmarks and found that unrolling less than 4 loops is a reasonable metric.

On the downside, this PR introduces an issue where some termination tasks do not reach a fixpoint. Unfortunately, I was not able to trace it to the cause, but we made a quick run, and it seems to not impact our overall scores (compared to SV-COMP 2023, we lost 2 termination tasks, but we also currently run out of resources for these).

So, (hopefully) this PR fixes more things than it breaks. Edit: we made a run and, indeed, this PR does not break anything else but fixes the excessive resource usage with 717 tasks going from errors back to unknowns.

as unrolling and analyzing empty loops is cheaper than visiting loops for collecting the nr of the instructions

For reference, in SV-COMP 2024 we also had a bunch of fixpoint errors: https://sv-comp.sosy-lab.org/2024/results/results-verified/goblint.results.SV-COMP24.table.html#/table?filter=0(0*status*(status(in(ERROR%20%28verify%29)))).
Most of them are also with the termination property, so there's probably some preexisting underlying issue that less unrolling also triggers.
