bugfix: straighten out STL vector allocation (snapshotted vs. persistent)

When using a STL data structure allocated on the stack, we must make sure its
elements are allocated with the same allocator as the structure. For instance,
in a model-checking context, the stack is persistent (non-snapshotting), so any
stack-allocated std::vector should use the non-snapshotting allocator (i.e.,
MyAlloc).

SNAPSHOTALLOC.

These functions will check whether a ClockVector (or corresponding ModelAction)

simply "happens before," because I may need to update and propagate a clock
vector after initial execution as more information becomes available, and so
this function helps determine whether a particular pair of vectors is worth

synchronization.
