SMTChecker: Switch CVC4 from API to SMT-LIB2 interface

Instead of compiling `solc` itself with CVC4 support, it is now enough
to have `cvc4` executable on PATH when running the compiler.
Instead of using API of CVC4, we write the queries to temporary SMT-LIB2
files and call the solver process directly to run on the file.
